I once put street pads in the Fiat and survived the wall at t13 in sebring.
I once installed a patched tire and survived a 110 mph blowout totalled a 325i.
I once put a set of cracked turbo twist porsche 996 turbo and survived a day at pocono north.
So, stock pads on cracked wheels and patched tires is perfectly fine, I survived.

I bet the $1 I won to the Slow911 that DD will be on patched hoohoos this weekend, and loose coolant fittings, and glyco anti-freeze.
So, i will be cautious of Yellow flags and Yellow cars...

If you're lapping in 2:28s, yes plug/patch (the one that has a rubber pipe that goes through the hole) is fine.
I quoted your post, in case you make a mess at the T17 wall, as a friendly reminder to others, just in case.
I personally dispose of track tires with any puncture, too much risk. I don't mess with wheels, I don't mess with tires, I don't mess with brakes.

I'm not going to stop tracking the car.... Just asking a question if it'll work or not. Its not about the money, I just don't want to throw out a relatively new hoosier if I don't have to.

Sounds like you have terrible luck at the track. Maybe we should be steering clear of you Already had my coolant line go pop. I'm hoping with the law of averages that was my "one". 
Agreed. That would be a good deal.
