Default SLicks alternative

I cant afford slicks or drag radials and My Kumho Ecstas dont grip worth a ---- at the track. Is there anycheap alternatives for tires? Someone said well worn BFG's or some tires like that and possible with some rubber conditioner?

How does that sound?

I used to think the same way until I actually started doing bigass burnouts on my street tires. I use to go around the wet box like your supposed to do but one time I went through it like woah and never looked back

haha. go in the box get water in your tires and see what kinda traction you get. you burn them off and its still moist inside the treads.

street tires grip better cold in the first place.

If your broke search ebay for used slicks. I got 2 sets of some 20x8x14's that were in good condition for like 120 shipped.
