I tried to use the link above but it did not work. I have been doing open track events with a Vette and now my Viper for more then 10 years and have been using slicks. They make all the difference in the world on dry pavement and cost a lot less money then street tires. I have been buying slicks for around $60.00 each from a guy back east name John Bergette and have probably purchased 4 sets from him in the last 9 years and never had any problems with them. He does not have a websight but is a real good guy to deal with. If anyone is interested e-mail me and I will tell you how to contact him. The slicks he sells are not for drag racing.
im getting 18x13 forgelines in the back and 18x10 forgelines in the front. If your going to run a slick do not be another bias-ply car. I had slicks in the back and radials in the front on my previous supra and going down the track felt like sliding on ice and was very unstable at high mph. The car feels like its rolling/hydroplaning when its not and the only thing you can do is keep the wheel straight. If your going to get slicks make sure you get skinnys up front too, just my opinion on the issue.
