I know MANY people who take their dailey drivers to the track with a pair of slicks or drag radials in the back.

Now don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say sticky tires wouldn't be used on a daily driver. I said "
A "specialty tire" such as a drag radial only for the track wouldn't qualify in my opinion as a daily driver you'd get caught in the rain with" Let me emphasize "only on the track". If you drive your car every day with a drag radial and feel comfortable driving it in a downpour at the posted speed limit then that would fit my definition of a daily driven street tire....see what I mean?
As far as NOS not fitting my deifinition of a daily driven street set-up here goes; What's required of a daily driven factory stock Ford Taurus or leased S-10 pickup? Gas, oil and filter changes...you know, standard regular maintenance. NOS is an add-on requiring special attention over and above that of any other car on the road. Having to stop every hundred miles for gasoline is normal for all cars, stopping for NOS fill-ups IS NOT, so that's out.
This shouldn't be complicated. Just compare what you do to a standard Ford Econoline van and use that as the definition of "daily driver". Just look at what your neighbor drives to work and what type of attention that requires to go to-and-fro...that's it, easy enough.
NOS, non DOT drag slicks and other special add-ons or tweaks that you NEED in order to run 12.1's (to me) isn't considered a daily driver set-up. Nuff said....
