Last year it seemed like Ritchie and Co did everything they could to make the Leap impossible to jump during the national, adding a weird roller in the corner and shortening the run. Seemed like only a few 450s were doing it, which is lame. Most 450 guys should be jumping it for the national, IMO. It’s the whole draw of that track.
In a perfect world you have 1-2 250F guys sending it too
Make the Leap doable again

I agree that just a few 450's jumping is boring, and when you scrub the double and landing, they are not losing hardly any time. Wishing it could save way more time going for it.
Hard balance for a track to have...but I still love seeing the first one each year in practice going for it.

After the ski jump, in the dowd / windham era, they used to go downhil / straight, through deep ruts pinned, and straight up the south side hill with an uphill ski jump. As fast as they could go, they would sail uphill out of sight...miss that section. Man I'm getting old.
