Drag radial users

I run 275/60 15 Mickey Thompson Street ET drag radials on my 1974 Plymouth Satellite and I love them. They grip real nice when you heat them up. Is what I do at the track is I drive around the burnout box, then back into it so only the rear tires get wet, (I run street tires on the front, don't want to get water from the fronts to get on the rears after the burnout). I heat them up till I start to see some smoke, then I do a burnout out of the box, then stage on the line. One thing I miss with not having street tires on the rear is doing all those fun smokey burnouts! The drag radials set me back about $170 a piece, can't burn them up at that price! Keith.
