I don't understand why they're marked that it is "recommended" they not be used on the street, though they legally can be. If anybody can explain this, I'm all ears. And hands and feet.

No reason whatsoever why you cannot use them as your "regular" tires; both for commuting to the track and lapping.
I have quite a number of customers who have been doing this very thing for many many years. Naturally, they were not using Hoosiers,.........just Toyo's, MPSC's, or 048's.
