valve stems on drag wheels
Do drag wheels mounted with slicks need to have metal valve stems? If so why? I'm curious because someone told me I needed them this past sunday when I was at MIR. He said there is a rule about it, but I couldn't find any rule about it.

I order a set of slick's, and tubes. The tubes came with a metal valve stem. So im guessing yes they need to be metal.

I didn't go below 15psi of tire pressure so I guess if I had went down to 7-8psi I would have noticed. Thanks for the info.

Re: valve stems on drag wheels
Rubber valve stems do not seal up with air pressure. How many valve stems have you replaced, or are you taking a guess at that?
