Default Slicks?

Just what the title says.

Does anybody use them on track days?

How hard are they to get or are they just an order form away?

Just curious.

does anybody actually use them? and what kind does Jennings sell, since that will probably be my first track to hit up most often?

What times are you running now? Trust me, you don't want to be 'that guy' with race slicks running mid '30's in the beginner group.

Slicks have some serious disadvantages over DOT race tires unless you REALLY need them.

i raced with slicks and they stuck like glue. i love them. i had full confidience in the corners with those tires. but if you dont have tire warmers please take the first lape in the mid 40's because you need to give them time to heat up.
