M/T for the last four years, never looked back. Far superior to the Goodyears I ran before.

I use Hoosier QTP for my street/strip car. Thinking about trying their radial version of the tire this year.
67 Barracuda street car, 408, e85, 1.38 60', 6.44 @105.9 in the 1/8 mile, 10.19 @130.5 in the 1/4...so far....

Hoosier 9" lightweight radial slicks. But my class is limited to 9". They are faster than a bias ply, but more sensitive to track conditions. Luckily I am able to race at well prepped tracks on the IHRA circuit as well as occasionally at local bracket tracks.
so are you going to run points at green cove?

I don't see your list differentiate between DOT and drag-only M/T radials...

I thought about it, but my IHRA and SSSSA schedules would likely keep me from attending enough to be a factor. But unless they make some major changes to improve their track prep, there is no reason to go, even for test & tune! I hate to say it like that, but from my last visit, tire compound, design or width would have made no difference. I was there mainly to see how my trans shifted. At least I accomplished that.
