Toyo RA1.....I suppose he omitted them because technically they are called competition radials not drag radials, who knows? But they are very good and sticky and street legal. They are probably better than BFG drag radials for street use because they have a higher speed rating than the BFG's.
........other competion radials available in 18's include michelin Pilot sport cup and Dunlop Direzza OTG.

I figured as much, but that's why I asked him to see why he recommended the G-Forces - I mean they are pretty darn good in the dry - I just wanted to see what-all his recommendation was based on, as I'm always looking to see what I'm missing....

depends on the weather
I have run the Nitto Drag Radial on my drag car and also the BFG's ....
with the BFG's I can trun quicker 60' times and carry the front tires for 45-55 feet
with the Nitto's I lost almost .10 seconds on the 60's and the front tires were only off the ground for 25-30 feet
I have not run the Toyo's since it is not a "drag" tire or the new Mickey's which are supposed to be pretty good
My drag car is a 56 Belair that runs low 10's on pump gas
