I got a big kick out of this guy in virginia, he and his "race team" trailered his supra to the track, his "team" pushed it out to the staging lanes and handed him his helmet. He then started the car and pulled up to the tree and proceeded to run 9.5 second/79mph 1/8 mile times lmao.
Anyway, my personal feeling is that I would not do that unless the car was running 10's or faster and was made into more of a race only car. I know some people trailer everything but that is my choice not to. I would only do it if my car was no longer reliable because of being modded to the extreme.
the first ones you have pictured are really nice though.

Call Mickey Thompson and see whWhat they state, several hours away is pretty far when you still have to add in the return trip
Where exactly do you live? I am pretty sure that Raceway Park and Island Dragway are closer to you than Atco??

Re: mickey thompson et streets drivability
I did use two sets last summer.
And no you can't fit one in the trunk.....
I have gone the wrap them in garbage bags and stack them in the front seat with the top down.
Turned a corner too fast forgetting what was next to me and they fell on the shifter ...had to pull over and get out to fix that situation.
Oh and ya have to double bag unless ya get help....the bag sticks to the tires cause there so sticky and tears.
Same with taking them out of the bags its tear and peel...and peel and peel.
So bring a box of bags...thats my exp.
Oh and got caught in the rain once with the tires next to me also....
And they make alot of noise,with the bags flappin in the wind!
