Do you have to run DOT tires in GT1 class or can you run slicks?
I am ready for some new tires for my Vette.

Hi Siro, In ARC Racing you can run slicks.

In NCRC TT slicks will move you up one class. The best middle ground, if running both (Race/TT) is DOT slicks, like Hoosier R6's. But I believe you are talking ARC and no TT's, then slicks are fine. I'm going to run both and have been moved up one already, so slicks would be okay.  Looking forward to join you this year in ARC with my '95 Mustang, I'll be running GT2 in both Race/TT.
