Best hooking tire (for badly prepped tracks)?
I'm thinking of 28x13.5-15 ET Street, but maybe there's stickier tire? ET Drags maybe? Hooking is always a problem at my tracks (not only for me).
What would you advice?

I would say a DR for a unprepped track. A lil bit of groove to move the dirt/debris is good. A slick is going to just slip, like it's on water.
A M/T ET radial w/ VHT can hook on a street w/o rubber. I have seen it multiple times.

Yeah but you are talking about an unprepped surface. Those people are more than likely speaking from experience on a well prepped surface.
But it sounds like you already made upi your mind, so go with the slick. So what happens.

I agree with you that some tread would help to move dust. But I meant a bit different thing - not so much that the are debris on the track, but the fact that pavement is very bad. It's even not perfectly flat. Does it make any sense?
So, I believe tread wouldn't help, but maximally soft sidewall+compound would.

Here's a pic of the surface we have (ignore the guy )

As you can see, surface is very "grainy"
