That race would have been really really good if they didnt have the jump starts.

You'll enjoy it, Seth. It's unusual to see so much happen in such a short period of time.

They said that wobble forced the pads farther away from the disc and when he pulled the lever the first time there was very little braking so he pulled hard again and the pads had moved back into position so he ended up with the nose wheelie.

Yes I heard them say thats what they thought. I think the head shake caused him to miss his braking marker because (Im guessing here) when the bike started to shake the finger most riders have covering the brake came back and helped the other 4 little piggies hold on. Then when it quit shaking instead of reaching for the brake lever with one or two fingers he grabbed it with four. But even that wasnt enough so he just whoaed it up as much as he could before he went off road riding. Look at it in slow mo if you have it recorded. The shake is pretty cool to see in slo mo also. Also if you watch a few seconds before the shake there is a shot of him going over the rise where the shake happens. Its a shot from the rear. You can see his butt come up off the seat as he crest the rise or hits a bump/dip in the track. Im thinking thats what set the wobble into motion.
