Needless to say, I am no gun shy of going that fast again... I was very lucky not to have done more damage...
I took the tire in to find out why it blew, no holes,, I was told the tire was under inflated... I was running at 30psi, I was told I should of been running at 40psi..Still hard to believe 10psi would of made much of a differance.. Oh well, live and learn...an expensive lesson on my part. :shock:

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
You are very lucky to have survived a tire failure going at those speeds. That said, I would question the explanation you were given as to why the tire failed.
