I can't wait to see how those tires work out for you Rudolph. I went and picked up a set of Nitto NT555R's from craigslist for $100! The guy I got them from has a camaro and doesn't drag any more, just track races. He actually told me that he tried a set of track tires at the dragstrip and found out the hard way that they do not work very well. Something about having a very stiff sidewall that did not allow for the flexing effect you'd get with a drag radial or slick setup. I have not tried first hand, so cannot burst any bubbles yet. Besides, possibly there is a difference between track compound and drifting compounds.
In any respect, I am sure if they are as soft as you say, they will hook up better than street tires. Plus, you can't argue with FREE! I may try a set too once my nittos wear out.
