If you showup at the track w/ the racetires slightly overinflated, then a small one would prob be enough to add air the 2nd morning.

Thanks. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

one of the first times i tried it i didn't look at the gauge, it was low, and it actually TOOK air from my tires and swallowed it up. 'well that was helpfull' i thought...
Um, ... thanks, I think.

I'm in the same boat. I really don't have much room for something else,.. I'm just going to accidently keep on leaving the tank at the track and having someone bring it back for me..
