Slicks vs. Drag Radials

Slicks vs. Drag Radials
I am pondering this decision.
Slicks or Drag Radials :?:
I am so impressed with the traction cabablilities of drag radials that I am considering going this route instead of slicks for the Bonne. That way I can run them on the street on the way to the track.
Sure slicks offer better traction capabilities but they aren't that much different than drag radials other than lacking grooves.
What do you guys think.

i don't know guys, when i switched from dr'* to hardcore slicks i noticed a BIG BIG difference(RWD). never complained about changing wheels at the track, and i'm pretty irritable and lazy. the benefits were there for sure though.

ET Streets may be a good compromise. I'm not out to break any records...besides my own PB. It would sure open up a lot of trunk space for other travel needs when I'm 500+ miles from home.
Still some time to decide before the spring.
I just came in from installing my drive shaft safety loop...on my Firebird. That would be a trick installing on a FWD. :?
