I think the cross-over would have been great if it was just a series of jumps rather than having the cars running back under it .... I broke at least one other persons car by coming up short and my own by going too long.

I have forgotten how to jump a 2wd in the 5 years or so since I last had too ..... rallycross cars can usually just be thrown skyward .... 4wd cars barely notice the jumps on the tracks I've run on recently ... LOL

The risk and reward thing is spot on ....... but I believe the risk should be that you loose a fair chunk of time if you choose not to jump rather than be a broken car for you or another racer.

If for example the gap had been filled with some really non flowing rough stuff section, say wooden batterns at random angles under carpet (attached to a bed board so they did't move about), that would be REALLY slow to roll compared to the jump option.

That way the brave and the skilled jumpers would get their risk and reward bonus and those others would get a second or so of a lap extra on their time.

Just trying to offer a constructive suggestion!!!!
