Hillclimbs we run here with the PHA ( Pennsylvania Hillclimb Association) are on closed ( for the event) public roads.  One specific event ( Weatherly Hillclimb) has a very noteworthy "jump" with lots of trees and huge granite boulders on both sides of the course.  Cars that carry any speed or have enough horsepower to accelerate through the right hander that proceeds the jump get momentarily airborne off the jump.  I literally hurt my back coming off the jump doing "exhibition runs" ( no longer allowed) with my Bugeye years ago and the header & exhaust did momentarily make contact upon landing.  The Bugeye has a Longman LCB header and the entire system is tucked up against the floor for the entire length.  Yes the header was sectioned so the collector exit wa s about 1/4" away from the footwell underside.
