"DIRTBAGS" on Dirt2

Waiting for game release.
This is a Game I am looking forward to as I love Off-road racing games.
I suspect there will be the same sort of Crash-fest's and driving backwards by disgruntled drivers so I am creating this post like the prior which is to expose those who would do
things to disrupt the game for the rest of us.Be sure to check out where you stand on the Dirt 2 global standings, you must sign in to view so take the time to sign up because this is cool to see where you and other players stand.

Just so it's said ahead of time, being this is an Off Road race game and inherently there will be more sliding and banging please insure any comments posted do not include those things that will naturally happen in this type of event.

I was finally able to download the Demo and even with the limited vehicles and tracks I'm still enjoying it.

Pickin up DIRT2 tomorrow! Weee Hooo!
Might not play it till next week though as our team has a race set up for this weekend on GRID.

I finally got online with DIRT2, was that frustrating!
It seems like almost no one knows where the damn brake is!
I think most of the people winning are doing so by getting ahead of the smashers and crashers.
Jeez Luizze it's like a smashem up derby out there.

Sept 26th
Well I've spent some more time with the game and have leveled up and it's still pretty much just a smash up derby for the majority of the online races with the exception of when I joined a private room to see how that would go.
Shortly after the first race started I realized these guys know where the brake is! that was great.
I spent the rest of the evening racing with these guys and as a result have my first group of friends on DIRT 2.
There were a couple times others would join but when the smashing started they were kicked right away.

Off line I had unlocked this "Butt Ugly Ford RS 200"
and man this thing is a Rocket! but if you try to drive it like one of the slower cars you will pay for it, slow down through the turns and mash the throttle part way through the turn and you'll leave everyone eating dust.
Be very gentle while steering as this vehicle loves to get "Ass Happy" as if it were perched on top of an upside down bowl.

I have been playing this game exclusively to this point and I am currently at level 76.
I still run into the same issues  with crashers but it's much easier to find a room where there are good drivers and I love to play Head games with the crashers and when you get others in the room joining your cause the crashers usually leave or apologize and get there act together.

I happened to be on the codemasters forum today and was absolutely amazed at the amount of discussions surrounding "Wall riding" or "Wall riders"
As I am one who hates to sugar coat things let me say this...
"PUSSIES!" 
Racers that ride the walls to decrease lap times and win races are just pussies that affect the stats and standings for the people working hard to get it done the right way. 
When I'm in a race and I see a Wall rider I let everyone in the room know and myself and sometimes other racers proceed to take them out every chance we get.
If you want to Wall ride go create your own "Pussy Wall ride" room and let the rest of us have a fair race.

Join the cause, Stop wall riding
