Back to the RaceDeck - I've inquired about them and car dollies on 3 forums and received a fair amount of feedback. Trying to put it all together the following seems to best represent reality:

A car on dollies and left parked on RaceDeck will probably result in slight depreessions in the flooring over time. When the time comes to move the car, it will take a lot of effort to get those 16 wheels turned and up and out of the slight depressions. Once out and moving, it will probably roll pretty good, although I've had one or two responses that the diamond pattern can interfere with the dollies rolling over the top. Considering how difficult it can sometimes be to get all 16 casters pointed in roughly the same direction, that sounds plausible.

I have Harbor Freight crank up dollies with steel wheels. On concrete I have been pretty happy with them. Given plenty of room it will move and spin with out any great effort - getting it to move in the exact direction you want it to can sometimes take a little tugging and corrective effort.

I move the car over next to a wall in the garage to park it. It's a little tight trying to get between the car and the wall but it may be plausible to crank the dollies down when in position to put the weight on the tires instead of the dollies - thereby avoiding dimples. Then it's a simple matter to crank them up a couple notches to roll the car out. I just need to figure out whether I want to go through this effort, just to get a nice floor.

Epoxy or polished concrete would be my preference but the 3 or 4 days I would have to move everything else just won't work.
