I recenty raced at a local track here in Jackson, NJ which has a great permanent on road track and I hear people complain that it is bumpy? I didn't think so, but that is my opinion. Just raise the ride height and drive the car. You may scratch the plate, but these cars are not museum pieces. Heck even f1 marks up the barge boards.

I guess when all of the commercial tracks pack it in from no support, we'll have no choice but to run on parking lots. Just a thought.
