Re: YAEPT: track

All /tr/ combinations are pronounced [tSr] in my
dialect/idiolect, from New York, near the city. The
/r/ is voiceless, I guess that's the [r\] that you
wrote?  hence:

 track      tree     train      trouble
 [tSr\&k], [tSr\i], [tSr\eIn], [tSr\Vbl=]

/dr/ is pronounced [dZr]

  drab     dream     drain       drum
 [dZr&b]   [dZri:m]  [dZreIn]    [dZrVm]
