hell yeah , i got mine for about 25 bucks off ebay, but they're circle track slicks, i've talked to people that have used circle track slicks and they said they were able to pull 1.8 60 ft's with them, so i'm happy with that for 25 bucks

Yeah but a set of bad slick will actually launch worse than regular tires. Remember, the life of a slick is based on heat cycles, not mileage

im pretty sure these are a DOT approved/autocross/road race tire. they should still do pretty good at the drag strip, if you heat them properly. for $39 its well worth it I think. its for sure gonna be better than your average tire.
