At the moment it is only an idea but an itch needing scratching if you get my point.
I was running asphalt untill that track closed its on-road program last yr. Double pinks all around on a prepped/good grip track is a good starting point for the lighter lipo cars. As Lonnie said(see you Sun Lonnie
) the grip may be less than your used to with carpet, takes a little getting used to.
