Jumping a car like that requires at least a rear shock absorber with tight or locked rebound that does not allow the axle to extend down after the front weight comes off the ramp. The rear axle extension causes the car to rotate around its center of gravity, pushing the rear up causes the ass-over-teakettle rotation that makes it land nose down. The rear axle needs snubber loops or chains like the jalopy derby guys uses to use to limit the motion so no suspension down travel.

On a jump like that, with a nose-heavy car I doubt it matters much........but I'm no expert.

I can see that… front leaves the ramp .. weight goes to basically neutral,,, the rear springs and axle unload and the tail kick starts the rotation around the center of gravity… I get it now..

So limiting straps will prevent the tail kick and allow the center of gravity to remain neutral??

I was raised on a farm, we milked by hand, but we always washed the teats before milking. We drank the milk all the time and no one got sick from it. I've visited modern dairy farms recently and they wash the cow's teats before putting the milkers on. I have a feeling that you have never been up close to any dairy farm.
