Looks like it hooked and lifted the nose. Once the air got under it, it was all over but the rest of the ride. The other lane did the same but came out of the throttle quicker.

It doesn't look like it on video, but those cars accelerate so fast that if air starts to get underneath early in the run you can have enough air pressure to lift the whole car in just a second or two.

I wonder if there is a way to design those cars so that if the front comes up the air pressure under the car has somewhere to go.
