I'm pretty sure Ben, goes by Lateralus on the forums, was running BFG drag radial on his AW11 when he ran 10.6 so he may be able to help you with where to buy them.

What's with drag racing anyway? People make these excellent starts, run hard down the front straight, then stop before they get to the first corner!!! I just don't understand........

Give it a go some time, I'm sure you'll change your tune.
Damn I change my opinion just from spectating. It's not as easy as it looks to get the power down in a decent car and run the best times.

dead right!
another reason I like drag racing is that there is less chance of crashing the car than in circuit and especially rally racing! Until it is really fast anyway

I wasn't aiming to sh!t-stir, just wondering out-loud why people make excellent starts to the race, then slow down 400m later!!
Circuit-racers still get the aggro off the line, but they then get to floor it down the straight 20+ times. Not trying to start a flame war or anything, just voicing my opinion that the start and straight-line thing is also present around a circuit, and the corners are a massive bonus!! WHY stop after you've started? 
I wasn't trying to say that every drag-racer is a talentless loser or anything, either. My assertion that Dragging is easier to fluke/learn by the talentless geeks however, stands.
Not too hard for "Johnny No-talent" to fluke dumping the clutch once or twice: impossible for him to nail 15-corners around a racetrack 20 laps in a row, if he ain't got da skeeeellzz...... . . 
I'm done here

im glad you said it was an assurtion that launching a car is easy. cause you know what happens when you make an assumption, you make an ass out of you and umption.
maybe launching a 15 sec car is easy but an 11sec car or quicker there is definately skill in.

Actually it was an assertion, not an assumption. Check the spelling in my post, then the dictionary to get a definition. 
Launching a mid-13 second car is a piece of p!ss, but as I've never driven an 11 second car, I can't refute your claim. Like I said before, too much snooze-factor in anything slower than 10secs or so. It gets interesting on the fast side of 10secs, but even then only as a novelty for me.
