Ratbag actually had Mark Kinser's teamowner, Karl Kinser help develop the game, helping them catch almost every angle possible in their WoO game. They got everything right. (Except for Steve Kinser's Chassis ) The game was a masterpiece, they got the tracks perfect, the cars acted like Sprint Cars should and the game was actually very competitive, which you don't find in the 2010. There was no competition in the 2010 WoO game. The game glitches, such as the "mystery Brick", where you would randomly flip into the air while riding the cushion or near the wall, the computer racers were very squirrely even on Pro difficulty and were still not a challenge. In 2010 WoO you could barely hold the throttle and pass everyone within a few laps. If BigAnt would take some time and pay attention to details like ratbag did, they would make some serious money. I just wish that the people who make nascar games would make a sprint car game every now and then thats my two cents on the deal. JMHO
Couldn't agree more about the Ratbag WoO being the best sprint car game out. I've still got my ps2 and routinely play that game along with Saturday Night Speedway which offers the opportunity to race midgets. Those two games were far ahead of their time. I look at the graphics and physics on the old NASCAR games produced at that time by the gaming monster that is EA Sports, and the Ratbag dirt racing games blow them away.

Hoping they take your advice and have a look at the Ratbag WoO game before fully developing this one, but either way, I'll end up buying it and giving it a shot!
