Mine was patched on the very outer tread block...had it been the sidewall, I wouldn't have bothered, but the tire didn't have that many miles and I guess I was taking the easy way out.
Live and learn...

I am wondering about heat loads at the centre vs. closer the sidewall. Maybe that is why mine was considered no problem.......it was done an PCA inspection centre so.....what is considered too high of a speed for a patch or is it one patch means a loss of one speed rating as suggested below
The patched tire holds air better than the all the others......two brand new PS2 to replace two new PS2s...ouch ouch! Might be better off with just having dedicated track wheels/tires
