Tubes/NoTubes

   This is my two cents  o tubes in tires (If you are going to run faster than 15mph it would be safer to tube a tire have friend now who is 1 inch shorter and cannot walk because of tire/rim seperation at 25 mph you should always think of safety when racing especially when it could kill you)  a dnf is ok when you can come back next week and finish

Point exactly these are mower tires rated at 8mph and we doing 60+ been 91 watch a tire grow at those speeds. First time I paid close attention I was running 85 down the back straight at Nashville speedway (highbanked paved 5/8 mile track) I could see 1/4" betweem front tire and bead of rim. Had tubes not been in there that concrete wall would have hurt real bad. NOW I only do stuff like that with real race tires but its still does this on the dirt tracks we all race on. Thats why I never run without tubes. Another been there done that situation.
