Default Drag wheels/tires - Let's see them!

As the title says, let's see your track setups! I'm looking for a drag setup for my truck and can't decide on what I should go with. I thought about using a stock chevy 16 inch wheel and MT ET 28x11.50/16. I would like to drive to the track but the closest one is 1 & 1/2 hrs away so it would probably use too much tread driving that far. Would it be better to just swap tires out at the track? Thanks

Here's mine. I do drive to the track like that sometimes but its only 45 min away.......but on the drag setup I'm too low and drag more than the Vettes

I'm running 255/50 16 MT ET Street radials on 16x8 Ultra wheels in the rear and 215/60's on the stock front wheels.

Thanks for the help everyone. I think I'm going to get a set of cragar soft 8 - 16x8s with MT 28x11.50 ET Street Drag Tires. That should get me down the 1320 without breaking loose!

Were those the street drag or street radials?
