I don't have cable, so I have no idea how big that hill is, but there is a little hump at TWS you could probably do it on. It's after Turn 2 or 3, I think.

I've only seen the oval interior layout at TWS.
I know the backside road section runs over a hill.

Infineon has a crest exiting a turn, so they are heavy on the throttle when they hit it.

On the right hand side, the north/south straightaway where it crosses the oval loop, there is a little hump known as "Wheelie Hill".

There is some residual bank in the straight that you have to cross.
