You do know you will have no insurance coverage when you are racing your car, I hope? You do know that true racing slicks are probably not even made in a size that fits your car, I hope? The closest you will probably find is a "cheater" slick. Since this type of tyre is not going to be available at Wal-Mart, you need to look at specialty markets.

A set of slicks will run you 300-400 bucks..I personnaly would go with a set of BF goodrich drag radials or nittos.They have a different compond that works good at the track and still have a good ware on the street and they are usually cheaper depending on sizes

If your just drag racing then you only need two. While they do make street legal ones I can't see any reason to drive them around on the street. I've never raced so I can't tell you how well they work but go to tirerack.com and they can.
