Rau's old AWD car was either 2500 or 2600 with driver. Back then in the IDRC Quick 16 class that Rau ran in, they had a huge weight penalty on the AWD cars versus the FWDs. I don't remember if the min weight allowed for him was 2500 or 2600, but whatever it was, Rau was right at it. They pretty much forced Rau to goto an outlaw RWD car and Glazer quit racing his AWD for a few years because of the unfair rules against AWDs also. The playing field nowdays in the NOPI version of the same class that Shep runs in, is quite even without any restrictions on the AWD cars.
