Default Need tire recommendation

I'm in need of some new tires. I need a 28" tire, preferably a drag radial. I know you don't want to use bias ply tires on a 6 speed if you're taking it to the strip, but choices seem limited for something I can use on the street and strip. Help a brotha out!

Maybe I am miss reading this but for a 6 Speed, they ONLY way to race at the track is with a Bias Ply.

You can go as far as putting on a ET Street which is a bias ply that has more cords and stiffer.

OR better yet just get a M/T ET Street Radial. They need heat up anyways for any stop light racing but they do grip VERY well.
