Ya know, the road race slicks I run (yellow letter Goodyears) are great on a road course, AFTER they get some heat in them. But they aren't "all that" when cold on a drag strip or a road course. Have to be very careful when cold. I would say they are only moderately better than cold Goodyear Bill Boards. In fact, the bill boards may be equal to the slicks in that regard, tough call.
...or I just got to much horse power (more like torque), one or the other.
I'm a little concerned about trying some real drag slicks though, like M/T's, because I worry about breaking something in the drive line.
