Default Slicks?

Hi, This is probably a silly question, but, are slicks allowed on trackdays?

I'm not planning on getting any, but always wondered?

Thanks.

Told you it was a stupid question.

I just meant do any organisers frown upon it?

No, lots of people use slicks in the fast group and some in inters. Doesn't always seem to help them though!

i would personally poke the person in the eye with a stick if they complained about me using a set of track specific tyre's on a track.

& I would laugh at you if you couldn't back it up with your riding


But Race exhausts & timing gear are frowned on at tracks so not a stupid question at all.

Slicks are allowed - I have a couple of good pairs here in 190 and 120 sizes, yours for 50 quid a set.
