On the track? Properly glued tubulars is really the only way to go. Not only to most tracks disallow clinchers--- for good reason--- quite a few set stringent specifications--- again for very good reason--- for what tubular tyres and their adhesives are allowed. While some tracks might lack a formal homologation most still have equipment inspection-- very important with tubulars given the potential danger to others by riding improperly glued tyres. Manchester interestingly allows clinchers--- my take on allowing clinchers is not that they are acceptable but clearly better than incorrectly glued tubulars--- but shortlists brands and models.
