I actually wonder if this has been bent since indoor season over the winter. The indoor track I raced at has this jump they call 'the kicker' which is basically a vertical jump and you really have to have the correct speed entering it. It has a flat top too...so if you go too slow you hit the flat top. Too fast and not only to you go high but you're coming straight down on the nose. I recall one of my early attempts at this jump resulted in my car sticking in the clay just past the landing ramp like a lawn dart.
This isn't buggy racing but this is the track and the 'kicker' is the jump right in the middle of the track. This angle doesn't do justice to what it looks like. Quarter pipe on one side, flat top and then straight slanted ramp for landing.
