FYI, to get the most out of slicks you really need your suspension set up for them. The added grip that comes from swapping on a set compared to a DOT will cause handling issues that possibly will result in slower times.
and of course the other consideration of the full race slick only having one, maybe two heat cycles in them before traction falls off dramatically, where as a DOT may have 5 or 6, a street/Track tire 8 or ten...
