I have never tried them personally, but I have heard that they aren't to bad for the strip, just have to heat them up well is all. They'll be better then radials anyway.

Nascar tires are run with an inner liner as well as the oputside carcass. Chances are they're all but used up to start with and whatever tread is leftwon't last long on the abrasive street. Better off going with M/T drag ET's than trying to mess with used Cup tyres.
