Do people corner weigh drag cars? I'd just say zero toe/camber on front and put the foot down. Maybe a slight toe-in on the rear for straight line stability. But what do I know, I turn left and right as well.

Some do.
To modify that slightly, I'd assume that 0 toe and camber under launch squat would be ideal, not 0 toe and camber static settings.
OP, your terminology is probably causing some confusion, and it sure did to me in your other thread. You're going to be running the car at the strip, not tracking it. The drag strip isn't a "track".
For corner weights, don't follow the typical road race cross weights setup, balance the drive axle 50/50 and ignore the cross weights. Again, pure assumption on my part, but that's what I always did for live axle drag cars with a spool and might not be correct for FWD with a diff.
