Excellent analysis from Ben Cathro, but the part I'm interested in is from 4:00 to 8:00.  He talks about speed control and the best way being to keep the wheels on the ground and really drive into the dips. You brake as hard as possible in the dip before releasing to go over the next bump.

It seems to me that this is one area where you would want small wheels and a short wheel base to spend as much time in the compression as possible.

What d'ya reckon?
