Hoosier A6. They're great for long or short tracks. They will wear quicker that an R6, but they are BIG time sticky.
If you want a streetable tire to also use at the track, Nitto's NT-05's a pretty nice too.

Hoosiers are sticky, and will deliver the best lap times, but the trade-off is that they will wear really, really fast...
If you can get a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup in the right sizes, then you'll have a tire that will wear much better than a Hoosier and give up the least to a Hoosier...but they are pricey...
You might want to look at Bridgestone R01's...I haven't checked sizes, but I think they might make sizes that are right...
In my experience, that's the hierarchy; everything else falls below the Bridgestones in the balance of gription and life...
Just my $0.02 and YMMV...
