You'd be better off buying new tires. I flat spotted my tires in the summer of 2001. Drove it at 15-20 more events and 15,000 miles and it still thumped.

You could find a tire shaving shop that could shave it off for your, but most places will not touch a tire once it touches the ground since pebbles and rocks will dull their blade.
what tires did you have and how bad was the noise? I can barely notice it now that I have regualr air pressure. Plus they are already on their way out because I'm going to more Autocrosses. My original plan was to use these once, and start using a different set of tires on cheaper, smaller wheels, but these were thouroughly abused during the Offensive Driving 101 event, and I had to get a plug+patch repair on one of them due to a flat I picked up on the road. These tires are already ****ed, so I was just wondering if the flatspotting will disappear before I cord the tires
