Yea, owning good gloves and boots is a good idea, I use race boots and gloves on the street, and have a snell helmet, usually needed for track riding. It was just a suggestion to cut the cost on the gear so you can put it towards tires.

Not going to beat a dead horse, but read up about frame sliders before you get them, they can cause more harm than good on a track, Id prefer to replace fairings than have my bike flip over and self destruct when the frame slider gets caught up on the edge of the track.
