Or was your point that a $50 portable air compressor makes more sense at the track? In which case . Nevertheless, there are lots of folks that use those too with great success. However, they are still more prone to failure than a simple bike pump, and since I already own the bike pump (and a non-portable air compressor for home use), why spend the extra $50?
I don't track so I can't comment on that. However I do believe in using the right tool for the job. I have a bike pump for my bikes and a compressor for my vehicles. If you want to stand there and pump the hell out of a car tire - go for it. While the 135i might not be bad, my 4Runner would take forever with a bike pump just for a few PSI per tire (265/70R17).
