Yup. Basically, the track tyre gets hot quickly and stays hot as it's being worked constantly. A road tyre takes a while to warm up, and then cools again as you sit at traffic lights, roundabouts, junctions etc. Having the pressure rise and fall every five minutes would feel horrid, and make the tyres wear out pretty quickly.
