To add to that, the two end links on my father's custom made (and very 
professional) rear sway bar failed in the "Bus stop" - the inner loop - at 
Walkins Glen.  Both of them, at the same time.  What are the odds of that?  
Off course, actually one broke and the other was inappropriatly loaded, and 
rapidly broke (occured in less than one second), but what Javad says should 
be taken to heart - sometimes, these things can't be seen until they happen, 
and when they happen, they happen in a big way.  This car was meticulously 
inspected not only prior to the WGI event, but also three weeks earlier for 
the PCA Limerock race.  Don't bet on anything...

Later!
