Veloflex tubulars are the easiest to put on without being pre-stretched IMHO. A Veloflex Extreme is pretty light and supple, can be folded pretty tight. Veloflex Record even better, but they're pretty thin (gret CRR too), not the best protection in case you have some serious miles to do.
Forget Continental tubs if you're in a hurry, and the tubs aren't pre-stretched.

Sorry for the inexperienced question, but i just purchased my first set of race wheels and they are tubulars. I have a race this weekend and i am planning to buy a spare tubular. Do you carry glue with you on the bike as well? Is there a way to pre-glue the tire?

See if your shop has a spare tubular rim. Glue the tire up and let it dry and remove it, light coat is fine. Store your spare on the rim between races
But do make sure to stretch the thing before you race and practice installing it. If you don't know how, have the shop show you on a spare wheel, it takes about 1 minute to learn

Yikes! $190 is a bit steep for me. Maybe the Tufo Elite 160 suggested by Tauren for $53 is a good alternative. I do appreciate the suggestions from everyone.

I bought Elite 135g 22mm recently for £50, less then $70.
