Grassroots Motorsports wrote something about them a few months ago.  I
believe they said the grip was good, but the sidewalls were soft.  Pretty
much what you'd expect from a drag racing tire.  Not the best autocross
tire, but a usable dual-purpose tire if you drag race on the side.  They
were better than the GRM guys expected them to be.
