If those big jumps didn't exist, I would be tempted to return to Off-Road for some 2WD action, a class I really enjoyed back in the day. Driving skill does not include a pilots ability to trim an aircraft in flight in my world.
More importantly, new drivers must find them very intimidating as they cannot learn driving skills with the wheels off the ground, only the skills of shelling out for spares and rebuilding the car - not what we came into this hobby to enjoy!
As James says it is not the up bit that matters, it is the landing. Look at a major rally stage where the car takes big air - it isn't height it is length, and the landing areas are long, wide and flat. Correctly designed, a feature that gives a car 20 feet in the air only a foot above the ground means that the lesser driver can do it along the ground by slowing down, and the better drivers can give it beans for a fast time. Simple, straight no big risks to take for driver or marshal.
It seems from James' post that a visit to RHR might be in order for someone looking for some 2WD action in the summer months!
