Which is precisely why I roll my eyes every time Peerless calls his plate a "track duty" plate and says that EJ's aren't. Neither are, a lightweight aluminum one might be, to protect your car when taking an unplanned shortcut through the infield but if you're tracking a car you should think of that as disposable protection. "I went off, ground over some curbing but was able to get back to the pits under my own power, good think I had a skid plate." It would only take about ten minutes to swap out a skid plate v. the many hours involved for us 24v guys (if you can even lift the motor high enough) so trashing a plate vs. trashing a pan is an easy decision.
For my car which was really low, street driven, saw occasional track time and had to deal with NH frost heaves, the Raceskids plate was perfect. A little heavier then what I would run at the track but I had the peace of mind to know that I wouldn't have to change it before the ride home.
Peerless plates are poorly designed, overweight shovels that are cleverly marketed to the retards that are so zoned out from bong rips that they can't keep their eyes open long enough to see the railroad crossing or embankment they're about to hit. Like, and many others have said, if you hit your car hard enough to bend your skidplate you probably have more pressing things to worry about, like the shock mounts you just blew. Now if someone made a severe duty plate for my IX I'd rock the shit out of it because I drive that car pretty much the same places I drive my Silverado, which also has skid plates interestingly enough...
