I guess you can sand them, although it is completely unneccessry. I have put on a brand new pair of DCIII's and taken right out on the track. Of course, you do need to be a little careful for a few minutes, dont be leaningall the way over, and dont be powering real hard thru corners. Heat in the tire is the best thing, and slowly using up more and more of the side of the tire.
I put new tires on several times per year, even on the street, and I just ride it cautious for the first 20-30 miles.
