Hi Jason!
I've had to do that on the way to an event. It was my birthday...and my
first event with race tires. NO WAY I was going to let a nail stop me.
;~))...Luckily, it was discovered on the way. Can't remember whether it was
plugged or patched...But I never had a problem afterwards. Just threw out
the corded tires...HTH.
