Balance Drag Tires?

As long as you make sure the tire doesn't move on the rim, (glue, screws, beadlocks, whatever), why would you NOT balance a tire?
Driver B, for the win.
Edit: if your drag tire needs "several POUNDS (!?!) of weight to balance" your tire has a SERIOUS problem!
Well under a pound to balance a 14x32 on a 15x15" rim. 5 to 8 oz, on mine.
