Default Small pin hole in et street>>>
Is there any way to fix a et street with a small pin hole in it?? I'd rather not run tubes. Will a plug work?? Safe?? Help me out.

Do you think it will hold up to burnouts? Thanks. I'm taking it to have it fixed today.

I guess if you put it like that, running tubes won't be so bad.

I've done both, running tubes adds weight (although not a ton). I recently had a patch done on my et street and after 50 runs it's fine. But up to you on what route you take.
