Prerunner in the racing world is a vehicle that you use to run the race course beforehand (pre-run) and there is no sanctioning rules on drive train for a vehicle that is not in the actual competition. Since you bring up the Baja 1000, I was involved with the only vehicle from Georgia to enter the Baja last year and yes it was 4wd.
Back on topic if you need help finding a straight axle I know of a few good places.
