I ride tubulars everyday.
You'll get different opinions, but I wouldn't recommend racing with tape only, especially on new rims.
You've just enough time to glue the tires securely.
Two layers of glue on the rims, with a few hours in between for drying.
At least one coat on the tires as well.
Some people say glue on rims and tires with tape in between but I've never tried that.
After the glue has dried to a tackiness mount the tires and inflate to full pressure.
Make sure you test them on the morning.
Good luck to the wife!
