Note: I don't know any track that WERA runs that will allow you to drive stakes into the asphalt. I know if you do it at Barber you will get charged for the damage.
Generally you can pit around the edges of the paddock and find a place to put at least one side of the canopy off the pavement. At NJMP, you pretty much have to put at least one side of the canopy off the pavement. Other places like Barber and VIR, it isn't really practical to do that. I don't think anyone is recommending driving stakes into the asphalt.
Meh.. That hair could use some conditioner,and don't even get me started on those nails..That right arm is also a photoshop.
I only brought it up because OP was like the lease company charges very little for a scratch when they turn it in. I was just pointing out that it's not entirely true.
Now there is some outside the box thinking...it HAS to be someones fault...God forbid a simple accident occurs with everyone just being adults and move on....
