The downside to nitrogen is that you will eventually have to have your own tank to do pressure adjustments at home or the track and they aren't cheap or fun to handle due to their size and weight.

For track use, I'd imagine a 3000psi paintball cylinder would work. With some quick and dirty math, I'm arriving at somewhere around just enough to fill four tires - should be enough to top off trackside and plenty transportable.
