>Cool. Well, if you want to race it at an NHRA track, you'll have to. Otherwise they'll kick you out after the first run :(

I run BFG Drag T/As on the street, and a 12 inch Mickey Thompson slick at the track. Have yet to have traction problems at the track or the street- suspensions pretty tricked out. I have smeared 4WD Syclones on the street- their traction didn't get 'em too far ahead of me. :-)
