This is not a totally true statement, you lost nothing dude, the fact is though yes having the weight of the drive train over the wheels help in a pulling rather then pushing motion, you have more torque with your car causing a loss of traction where his two gerbil powered motor didn't have enough torque/HP to even lose traction in the wet. So no worries, just wait for that nice day and spank him hard! Next time dude, never let your oponent pick the playing field, make them play on yours!

Well, even though the ricer may think so, he won NOTHING. Except maybe "who's got better traction." So really there is no shame for you.
You shouldn't race on wet pavement anyway.

he didnt really beat you. he just didnt have enough power to break loose his tires. oh well, youll get next time.

just becarfull, i dont ever race or even drive like i do on dry payvement when its wet out. i just think its really dangerous because not everyone knows the limits of thier cars on wet streets and its takes so much less for something wrong to happen.

I'll agree with that. It does'nt take much to lose control on dry pavement let alone wet.
Be careful!
