Very true... those things are awesome in a straight line. Just don't try and take the turn onto the return road too fast. Mmmm, squirmy!
Last time at the strip I got griped at by tech by taking the turn onto the return road too quick. I had more fun jumping on the brakes for the first turnout and sliding through the first two turns on the return road than I did running up the 1/4.
For a good mix of straight line traction and turning traction, pretty much any R-compound road race tire would be a very good choice. If you're willing to sacrifice some turning manners, then the MT DR's would be an excellent choice as stated.
You may also want to look into some Yokohama A048's, Hoosier AS305's... just don't expect much life out of them!
