Air Pressure and size
I agree with both of you as far as times,but remember this also,say you run a 8 inch slick that is pretty much equal to a 2456015 which as we know is not very wide,but a 2755015 drag radial is the same size as a 10inch slick so a lot has to do with contact patch.
Air pressure has a lot to do with it,in other words how hard you can hit the tires without just totally blowing them off. I will say a Drag Radial is pretty much on par with a slick,remember the photo of Dwayne"Big Daddy"Guthridge in MM&FF Feb 2000 issue doing a 4-in-the-air-bumper-shot those were drag radials although they were 3255015 but a radial none the less. Good thing about drag radials,you do not need the extra safety equipment(driveshaft loop,scattershield) but when you are going that fast I would have it,and you do not need to screw drag radials to the rim or need a tube. It's all a toss-up and a personal taste thing.
