I worked start 1 and finish 3 and 5 yesterday, which was cool, but no good jumps.
Today was the start of 1 and finish of 4 (which, on todays schedule was the reverse of 1) and yeah, there were some sweet jumps on that road.
The stage roads were incredibly fast as I was doing about 50 mph on the access road in my car and was not even pushing it. The access road, according to the BLM volunteer I was talking to, was about the same grade as the stage roads. And yes, stage 1/4 was on the foothills of the mountain range and had lots of smoothed out washes that would drop and re-rise 10-20 feet in about 50 feet of road. Made for some good jumps (I only got to see one, and not everyone jumped).
All in all, I have to say it was fun.
Rally America sounds like they were impressed, and is very likely to keep the Reno event on their calendar when it becomes official.
