| Speaking from the experience of trying to run down those 4WD DSM's at 
Petersburg this weekend I know what you mean. I did finish in 4th place and 
was the top FWD finisher in my Type R. I got to line up against John McIver 
on Saturday afternoon and all I can say is I got 4 real good long looks at 
the rear bumper of his car. 
I think there may be an alternate solution to this problem of the inequity 
between FWD and 4WD cars launch capability . My idea would be to change the 
course design philosphy a little. Every Pro-solo I have ever attended has had 
a long drag strip at the start. Every once in a while a course with a sharp 
turn or a slalom close to the start would help even things out.

ps I have to agree John McIver did seem like a very nice guy.
