[Shotimes] good news!

What berms? If you mean the rumble strips, that no BFD.

Subframes are designed at the "weak link" for a sideways impact, like an
angle hit on a curb. The subframe will bend before you break a wheel or
other suspension parts.

What about pounding berms on the road course.  I was hitting a couple of
them pretty hard wondering if it was going to bend something...
