My personal approach on this is if you want it to look nice and pretty and prob be slow because your worried about damaging it then fix it! If you wanna set wicked fast laps then leave it. Personally it's a track car and track things happen. If your worried about it getting scratched then leave it in the garage like the majority of these "hard parkers"

I say leave it. I haven't had an impact like that yet (a few near misses). However, I have folded my front fenders under pretty bad in a spin out. So much so they ripped through tires. What did I do? Hammered them back out as straight as I could, and then went back and rolled and pulled them even further. It's been two years and I'm still rocking them. Maybe hammer it out as much as you can and roll with it.
I got a feeling that more street street guys are going to say just as the one guys did 'fix it, it's a $10k car' or whatever. And more track only guys will say 'roll with it'. At the least I'd say wait til the end of the season to fix it, if you're going to. That's what winter's for. In the meantime get more events out of it

What you don't what is to paint it, unless you are comfortable spraying it yourself.
They went over so easily, in the 1970s we had multiple cars competing for the name 'Rumple-Opel-skin'. I had mine fixed before the start of the 1977 season, and rolled in on Lime Rock's Zig-Zag straight in the rain at the first race.

Just get a big vinyl band-aid and put it over whatever's left after you clean the scuffs off. I wouldn't worry about the 50/50 rule, there's MUCH worse stuff that hits the track at every event.
