That sucker skirt should sweep off any pebbles the suspension can't absorb. Given the non-lethal nature of accidents, the excess power, and the course length, I'd go for a pure sucker for downforce, and anything like a widened half-bullet on top.
I'd still argue for a stable glider, except any launch is likely to cause a roll as well, and roll stability is a slow response.
