^ This. The class I signed up for recently even specifically disallows students in their novice/beginner-level rankings to use slicks at all. Their words: "A driver with out proper training before going to race tires is at a disadvantage, race tire mask many mistakes, don’t allow proper training, and create a safety hazard to lower level drivers, their instructors and others on the track."
