Anyone ever done the above

I was going to change both tyres, but there as good as new.
Am not sure i want to risk it, i would rather just spend a couple hundred quid but was curious to see if anyone has ever done a trackday with a puncture repair

Done trackdays on my bikes with repaired tyres and did the same last year at The 'Ring with a repaired tyre on the Wrx,no problems.
Just ask around who's got a good rep locally.
Would stay away from the spotty 19yr old YTS at your local national tyre shops.

Yeah, did two on the same RE070 with a repair without incident. Did put it on the back though so it was under less stress
