	Slicks (Jobst Brandt)
		Water on slick surfaces, such as paint stripes, manhole covers, or railway tracks cannot be removed by tread patterns, just as a sharp edged squeegee glides over a wet window.
		Today, from imitating racing tires, they generally ride slicks that have enough tread lines in them to pass the law that states that motor vehicles shall not operate with slick tires, a law based on automobile tires that have a cylindrical surface instead of a toroid.
		The argument that a slick tire caused a slip on a railroad track is like saying the slick caused you to fall on ice.

	Galicia (Spain) Oil Spill, from November 2002 to April 2003
		The extent of the oil spill was clearly visible on an acquisition from Envisat ASAR instrument on 17 November and on a RADARSAT-1 image on 18 November.
		The tanker itself is visible as white dot at the bottom-left of the main slick (Bottom-left of the image).
		Possible oil slicks are visible in the central part of the image (partially covered by the left ERS image).

	NOAA's National Ocean Service Office of Response and Restoration \| Emergency Response \| Responding to Oil Spills
		The appearance of oil slicks and subsurface plumes is affected by factors such as oil characteristics, time of day (different sun angles), weather, sea state, and the rate at which oil disperses.
		Once dispersant has been applied to a slick, you may observe color changes in emulsions (mousse), produced as the demulsifying action of the dispersant reduces the water content and viscosity of the emulsion.
		But slicks are generally not uniform in thickness, and it's not always possible to distinguish among thicker and thinner parts of the same slick.

		The Cheater Slicks new album was produced by Jon Spencer, but that doesn't seem to impress the legions of people who they've scared the shit out of.
		Boston has never been kind to the Cheater Slicks, often mistaking their not-so-quiet genius for snobbery, insisting that their music was trash, that they were playing scuzz in an era when they should have been playing grunge.
		I have seen many Slicks shows in the past, and never have I seen them come out of the gate this raw and relentless, spewing forth that Detroit energy that is lost on so many modern garage bands.

		The speedway slicks and hurst slicks are the same tire, they are much stick-e-er than the radir slicks.

	Slicks VS Knobby tires
		IF you get the road slicks it will require you to have different sized rims and depend on what kind of break set up you have they probably wont work but that will add extra MPH to you overall total.
		Slicks are narrower, so can take a higher pressure which reduces rolling resistance.
		When one burst, I convinced her to change to slicks and she was amazed at the difference, and was still able to use them on trails.

		The leaked oil has formed dozens of slicks that are looming off Spain's already-devastated northwest coast where oil has polluted hundreds of miles of coastline, including 250 beaches.
		But as he spoke, the regional government of Galicia in northwest Spain reported that a large submerged oil slick was heading for a prime shellfish inlet called Arousa.
		Hundreds of fishermen recently managed to stop the advance of other slicks at the mouth of the Arousa inlet, protecting some of the prized mussels and clams.

		Slicks is a top down racing game for one to four players.
		Slicks is similar to Super Sprint on the Spectrurm/C64, only now there are many more options to change, one of the best ones is having to make pit stops to fill up with fuel.

	A Multiplayer-Multiresolution Approach to Detection of Oil Slicks Using ERS SAR Image

		Because the presence of oil slicks on sea surface increase the surface tension of sea water, he surface wave is significantly depressed or disappeared.

	Cheater Slicks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		There was a time when Cheater Slicks were upset about the resounding display of local indifference they've received; now they wear it almost as a badge of honor.
		Cheater Slicks have also covered their share of '60s garage-band obscurities (drawn from Crypt's Back From the Grave and similar compilations), but they're not a garage band in the strict, "Louie Louie" sense.
		It was a crank call that Shannon had received at Karmi, the Allston used-record store he used to run, not knowing that the caller was Spencer's engineer ("Uh, do you guys have anything by the Pearl Jams?" -- keep in mind that the Jerky Boys were still popular at the time).

		The Cheater Slicks' loud, trashy brand of rock and roll also hooked them up on tours with bands like Mudhoney [+], who ended up covering some of their songs.

		Also I'm planning on getting some rims to mount a new set of slicks on in the near future but in the mean time I was wondering if I could fit this one set of tires on a stock 1st gen wheel.
		Straight sidewall slicks are designed to mount on a rim that is the same width as the tire.
		A drag slick is softer and gets stick faster with a burnout then a road race tire sine for road race you take turns lap after lap, they need to be harder.

		Portugal and France are on high alert after oil slicks from the sunken Prestige tanker began encroaching on their territory.
		Portuguese Defence Minister Paulo Portas said that small slicks had been spotted about 18 miles (30 km) away from his country's coastline, and more reconnaissance planes and patrol boats had been sent to the area.
		Last month's sinking of the Prestige, which lost a large part of its 70,000 tonnes of oil cargo before breaking in two and sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic, has already caused considerable damage to the Spanish coast.

		There is plenty that can break from slicks but keep in mind that the more power you make the faster you'll break and more parts that can break goes up.

		Of course, it's no secret that drag slicks for unlimited applications are often constructed as light as possible.
		In terms of life, these new-generation fastest street car tires are much the same as slicks, and slick life can vary from car to car.

		Something to point out is that Gunn's slicks were old, not new, so it makes sense to me that the benefit is 2-4 seconds depending on track.
		I figured my stockish car(stock springs, shocks, swaybar, brake rotors, clutch, flywheel, and no-aero) with slicks vs a highly modded car without slicks would be an interesting matchup.......and a good data point for the future.
		Slicks and motorized ground effects should not be legal in anything except unlimited.

	Surface microlayer phenolic enrichments indicate sea surface slicks
		has evolved into the present model of slicks resulting from monomolecular films that modify wave characteristics and hence reflectance properties of surfaces.
		I then suggest that: (1) slicks result not from monomolecular films, but from viscosity changes in surface microlayers caused by more soluble organic components; and (2) the occurrence of slicks therefore depends not on absolute concentrations of surface-active materials, but on relative viscosity differences.
		Evidence is also given demonstrating the presence of macroalgae-derived phenolic materials in slicks.

	In The Red: Cheater Slicks
		Started in Boston in 1987, the Cheater Slicks have built a huge body of recorded trash-garage-noise-melancholy pop-psychedelic dementia-rock n’ roll that has gone largely unrecognized by the music press and has made many garage rock purists run for the door.
		Founded in 1988, the Cheater Slicks began as a four piece that included a bass player – first with Merle Allin (GG’s brother) and then with Alpo (former member of the Real Kids).
		The Cheater Slicks recorded for a series of independent labels until in 1992 they called In The Red their home with their third album "Whiskey".
