What's nice is that these tires are available with a 605 mm diameter, which is just small enough to fit all 4 wheels in the back seat area. Btw, the Avon slicks are also available with that same diameter (and width). (Hankook slicks would be cheaper but they are not available in that dimension, but I might try them anyway because we need to use first gear quite often and I'd prefer if the first gear was longer. In that case one wheel will have to go in the trunk.)

(The S5B would definitely be way too soft for track purposes.)

Thanks, btw this year was the 50iest anniversary of that event. It's a GoPro Hero 3.
