I carried a mini spare for one Starlite Rally in 1992 because it was required by the organization. After that, I just carry a couple of cans of "Fix-A-Flat" and a tire plug kit. The worst thing that happened was on a 6 hour rally up near Palmdale when I ran over something that put a 2" gash in the side wall on my left rear tire. It took 2 cans to get it pumped up and I was surprised that it held air at all. After the finish and awards ceremony, I borrowed a couple of cans from other people and filled it up again to make the hour drive home. That stuff has some kind of fiber in it and works very well.
