Additional notes on slicks:
Scuff the tires (1 lap at speed) for break-in prior to starting a race.
Use tire warmers for 30-45 minutes depending on ambient/track temperatures.
If a tire is spinning, lower the pressure slightly to increase tire temps.
If the tire temps. are too low, consider an air pressure adjustment (lower pressure 0.5 - 1 psi) or a different compound.
