Last time out they felt like they were spinning a little and my 60' was a tenth more than usual. I just want to find out if the rims are spinning or I have traction problems now with this new converter.

Is there a way to determine if slicks are getting worn down?

Slicks have little holes drilled through the rubber that stop at the core so you can tell how much meat you have left.

My slicks usually stop hooking up and get cracked before I can wear them out.

Trust me you are not spinning the rim inside the slick

The more time you spend at the track the more you will see I am right.
