That's great, but lets look at number of front drive competitors. We
were not looking at which is faster, but what people are bring to the track.
Apparently you missed the point as well, we are also looking at Stock, not
SP or P or mod, if you leave them out your numbers look a little different.
ss-csl 8r
ds-esl 4f
fs\l 2r
gs-hsl 4f
Now I have 8 front and 10 rear, almost half. Again, lets look at the
number of competitors not winners.

Just a quick peek at the winners, and which end drives the car:
SS-CSL - R (8)
DS - ESL - F (4)
FS/L - R (2)
GS - HSL - F (4)
ASP - BSP/L - R (4)
CSP/L - F (2)
DSP-ESPL - R (4)
AP-DP/L - R (8)
EP - F (1)
EPL - R (1)
AM-EM - R (10)
ST/L - F (2)
That's 37 for the cars with the "old, outdated rule" and 13 for the "no
fair, my type of car wasn't really mass produced when the rule was made"
guys and gals.
That's ~3-1 in favor of the rear drivers, and me thinks that most, if not
all the winners are running a non-oem front bar. For that matter, that goes
for the FWD crowd as well.
Somehow, I don't think that it's broke..
