Truck won't rape mine - especially if he only runs a single power adder. Runs about the same ET when he's boosted and spraying, but I've got him by 8 mph. And yeah, if you want to split hairs, he'd beat me on the street, but since I never race my truck on the street, that's a pretty pointless argument.
Fast - you're confusing technical advantages with class rules. There have been AWD platforms used in the past in various racing classes, but they get made illegal pretty quickly. And, with a wheel-standing chassis, AWD simply becomes a weight and intertia pentalty. It's why DSM guys like Buschur ditch the AWD setup in favor of RWD.

I knew there were guys who have played around with the AWD thing and I was eluding to the fact that the concept of the drag racing setup defeats AWD due to the fact that it is all about weight transfer. Here is a question though, I have noticed in passing some drag cars in a few magazines playing with Front Wheel Drive set-ups with the big tires on front.......how does that go over? I have never seen one run.
As far as class rules.......I doubt you'll ever se a series that allows a whole band of cars with different configurations because keeping competition close would be too tough. I think a lot of people don't realize all the R&D that goes into a racing series to make rules and regulations that keep good competition.

I know Sheperd just put down 8.75 with his AWD on drag radials. With a full race setup on a RWD, AWD will have the disadvantage. But with both on street legal tires AWD usually is better.

He didn't race much this year since he has a driver for the street car (Conquest with an Eclipse setup that runs high 8s) and he had a scare (wreck) in the Eclipse. But he went 7.80s@175 early in the year.
