Sounds more like a Drag Week car to me. No rules about tires, exhaust, or fuel at the track, but some of us chose to race the cars EXACTLY the way they came off the highway from the previous days drive. I love that concept!
The only changes I personally made were to unload everything from the trunk (you practically live out of your car for five days) air down the back tires, check the oil, and head for the staging lanes. No trailers, no slicks, no open headers, no race gas. Just like it goes down the highway, even the Simpson kiddie seat in back. The car ran it's best ever of 10.59 @ 124 on local gas station 92 octane, full length exhaust, front and rear sway bar, and front shocks set to the stiffer end of the range (pos. 9 of 12).
Now I will admit that I was on a set of M/T drag radials, but how can you deny that as an every day street tire when I just completed 1500 miles of drive through four states (600 miles in the rain!!!).
It's actually the only tire I own for the back of the car.

Someday I'll try the legit radial (non DR) and see how scary it is!
