Jesse Hockett at Bloomington. Throttle stuck and he set the front end down real hard. Fast forward to 1:40.

Uhm, I'm not trying to be contradictory, but I watched that several times, paused, slow-mo'd and nothing I saw was effected at all by there being an anti-roll bar up front... You say the throttle hangs, then he carries the frontend(wheelie), but then the car starts to pitch over to the right before the frontend even drops. If you watch, the rear actually jumps up off the ground before the nose can dig in. There was some sort of failure, but nothing to suggest the anti-roll bar was related to it. If I'm missing something please explain.
