Thanks folks... sounds like there are two opinions held. I will try as suggested to see if measurements vary much on uneven surfaces (won't have time for awhile.. but will get to it eventually). I'm inclined to think there would be some difference (see what i did there haha), but will try it out !

The biggest thing with any vehicle setup is repeatable results. That means that it’s always the same. The only way you can have the board be the same anywhere you setup the car or race, is to have it be level. So yes, a slightly un-level board may not influence setup much, but sometimes tenths of a degree or tenths of a mm can have large effects on the car. The only way to repeat an exact setting on the car is with a leveled board.

That said, I personally don’t worry about getting my board too level. I will however move the car 180° on the board and measure again to ensure I have parity in my measurements.
