well, rule or no rule, i am careful not to get airborne. last year i either
drove around the jump or crawled over it.
it depends on how the course goes over the hump. slowly is best. last year
was a bad bad combination of a little running start, the jump, and then a
really long straight, so you were kind of forced to go fast over it to get a
good time. i actually put the brakes on before it and crawled over.
the usual problem at the stick is bottoming out and breaking stuff.
