Does anyone know if you need sensors on the rims with slick for the competitive driving to work right? Will I get abs problems?

You don't need to go into competitive mode. Just hit the button once to turn off traction control and you'll be fine.

Ranger suggested I use competitive mode so if I really go sideways it will save my ***. And slicks come in Friday but wheels on the 6th I might just go run again with my runflats

Keep it in trac control off mode and you'll be fine. No need for sensors at the strip. I do trailer mine there though. If you drive there on slicks and wheels with no sensors you will get a message on the dash saying your tires are flat though!
