Curt, great write-up! Always good to read feedback from someone that has tried so many combinations.
Quick question. How much PSI were you running in your drag radials when driving them hard on the street? I'm a supporter of the MT drag radial mostly because they are an economically viable alternative to the AVONs. I run between 30-32psi on the street and keeping the sidewalls stiff tends to increase cornering at the slight expense of straight line traction. But honestly, once these tires get a little warm the straight line traction (even at 30psi) is not much an issue. Also, the increased tire pressure tends to help you 'feel' them better and you can more accurately predict when the grip becomes slip.
In the end, driving these cars hard is a lot like driving on marbles.
Thanks,
