I've struck a C-172 and M20 Mooney. give it a little gas while rolling down the runway and rotate. You can make the 172 rub everytime. Doesn't hurt anything as you can barely feel it. But I've had a few students do it. As for the Mooney. You can strike those on no flap landings easily. On my CFI checkride at the FSDO he gave me a point on the runway to poweroff 180 to. The reported winds was broken so I was eyeballing it and they ended up being about 12kts. So i never used flaps and floated forever trying to make it to the point. Literally I landed on the exact inch and drug the tail doing it. Neither were anything to worry about.
