I got a couple of runs in, but had R-Comps on from the AHG Sprint Series in the morning, and they are terrible for straight line stuff (worse than street tyres).
Only did a 12.2 @ 118mph or something, fair way off the mid-11's I'm aiming for.

I know what you mean. I used R comps (ADVANS) when dragging the old civic and got 14.2 with 2.3 sec 60' times. With the standard street tyres i got my 14.1 with a 60' of 2.0.
You are correct about the stiffness of the side wall and how it inhibits the 'flex' required for the launch. Hence why drag radials have a wrinkle wall to maximise that flex.
R Comps great for the track - Worst possible for drag.
