you probably can, but I'm not sure you're using the appropriate tool for the job. 
Try doing a google search fro vinyl restoration software.

Agreed - Tracktion is not the ideal software for this sort of work. OK, you can use it as a host for the various restoration plug-ins which are around, but it's not a precise enough audio editor to do the job properly (you will be doing a lot of precise manual editing, believe me) so you would need a much better audio editor. Since most editors will host plug-ins anyway, it rather makes Tracktion redundant.
There's plenty of stuff around which is dedicated to restoring audio, from cheap to very expensive. Some of it really isn't worth the hard drive space and much of it is 'automatic' and will do more to damage your audio than repair it.
Since restoration is my core business, I've probably tried virtually everything on the market, so I have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't. IMO, if you need something that will do the job 'out of the box' and without having to purchase a lot of additional plug-ins or other software, then Adobe Audition is, by far and away, the best all-round application to own. There are other applications which excel in certain operations, but Audition is as much as any non-professional would ever need. Alternatively, Pristine Sounds 2005 is worth a look - but Audition is still my first choice.
At $300 it's not that cheap, but when you consider all the built-in features, it really does represent very good value for money - and you get a good multi-track recorder into the bargain.
