Yeah, if the plug or patch is on the center, but since its near the sidewall it might explode if he takes a corner to fast.

if it's patched from the inside, that might be something else, but if it's plugged, you don't wanna track it. (one of them 152 things they don't wanna see, and i wouldn't wanna be caught with on track).
auto-x? sure, but at 125+
I had one in my stocky at maybe 1500-2000 miles, went to have it plugged, and alas, it wasn't even all the way through, soapy water = no leaks = awesome.
