Had the same problem last year. Started out with low tire pressure because of high track temps and the high speed revolutions of the wheels produced centrifugal force sufficient to overcome the valve springs. When they opened, the ever lower pressure caused more leaking, and a flat tire.
Put the valve caps on and the problem will dissappear.
