Snow tires would really suck at the drag strip! The rubber compound is designed to remain pliable in cold weather and to grip the ice and when it gets warm they get pretty greasy and slippery! There has been a couple times that the season had changed and I forgot I still had snows on and spun out taking a corner too aggressive for the limited traction.

Actually they're not bad. Lots use them! They don't get greasy and slippery at all in a several second drag race. Motortrend or car and driver actually did a test racing them vs all seasons vs summers on a track. They are a second or two slower per lap vs the summers but the rest was quite good and surprising.
