Yes, they are.

I've done it.

Do tell. It'd have to be a pretty hard packed grass strip I'd have
thought?

I've seen one operate on gravel, I haven't seen it on grass.

Well, it'd be a stretch to call it either, really!

Actualyl some of the paved strips we operated off of there were worse thna
the unpaved ones.
One was paved on half it's length and the bump you got when you hit the lip
in the transition was bone jarring. It wasn't as bad as th pothole shortly
after it, however.
