How can you launch just as hard on summer tires as you can on drag radials....

That would mean that drag radials are never necessary, which probably isn't true.

But i can't be sure i've never used them.

Racing compounds need a lot of heat to work. It's possible to get more traction from a heated/shaved summer compound than a cold race compound.
