As you know a road race tire has a narrow heat range for optimum traction. A drag radial would be a better choice, softer compound to begin with, and a wider heat range. All I ever run at the track are MT street radial and have 60's in the 1.38-1.39 range consistantly, and probably have around 800 horse. Also I don't have a drag race suspension, it's more for road racing, huge bars and shocks and springs and everything heim jointed, and I don't change anything when I go to the track....I just break stuff.
