Brett - you can use that kit if you still use a strap. This kit doesn't keep the fork from extending to full length on launch - it is a spring that has a really soft spring rate for part of it. It just collapses that part of the spring to set lower - so you still have to use a strap to contol how much it rises on launch.

Never used them on a sportbike/drag aplication.

Done them on a few harleys, they are good for a quicker and cheaper way to lower the front, all your doing is essentially replacing the spacer with a very soft spring. When the fork is assembled and on a bench it is stock length, with little weight on it, the soft spring fully compresses becoming solid. Wouldn't really be bad at the track I don't think as long as you still strap it. I'm guessing with the different spring you wouldn't have to much of an issue with bottoming out.
