Pacific Raceways is another track with the good layout but the problem is that it's dangerous ( a brand new ZL1 totaled there like a month ago) on a few spots and it seems like they don't seem to be fixing those certain areas

It would cause me concern to get off-line from a pass or, just bad driving and hit the turf by mistake and bend rims. Do you find the smaller strips problematic?
Same here! "grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" for sure

I want to add different tracks in the mix so NorCal tracks (Sonoma Raceway, Laguna Seca and Thunderhill Raceway) might be an option maybe during winter as I cannot track my car here that time.
I want to go the PIR (Portland International Raceway) sometime also but it doesn't look like the other tracks here in PNW when it comes elevation changes, and rollercoster-ness

I am not certain about those strips TBH with you. I only bent one wheel in the past 5 years and that happened very recently when I ran off the track going over 40 mph

Is this what you're referring to?



Here's another video taken from that day:


and how it happened. I bent the passenger front wheel:


ordered another one right away after that happened and had them install within a couple of days to make it to another event
