yes its a roll over, but the rally tires has extremely strong side wall ,and still if you drive fast and hard enough at the start...
So sometimes when you start the race with lower pressure then optimal racing temperature, because you dont want to get too hot end of your session its an easy phenomenon.
little help from the ditch hooking and from the outside tire lol

all tires (street) has a tire roll over marking. So if you do go over that marking , you need more pressure or stiffer suspension. if you go under then you need less pressure or softer suspension.
Its a very general explanation , but i hope its a good start
The marking is a little triangle on the tire wall.

Got the fronts to 40 hot and still had the sidewall looking the same. I see a little paint from the bottom of my driver front fender coming off I'm thinking the tire is rubbing when doing a hard right hander. Size my of tires are 245/40/18. I spoke to the event organizer(autocrosser for many many years) and he says I might even need to get my fronts to 48 psi hot. Now for the tire rubbing on the fender, could that be due to maybe a bad shock? My shocks have 99k miles on them or is that pretty much expected?

You're likely getting excessive body roll due to worn OEM shocks. Time to start looking into coilovers.
