Would having the rear anti roll bar disconnected effect fast starts?

I,ve disconnected mine trying to trace a knocking from the rear, which confirmed it to be the roll bar bushes.

But on Sunday i'm hoping to do some 0-60 sprints at Donny S.
So should I put it back on for tomorrow?

Potentially you'll gain rear end grip from having it disconnected, it does change the handling balance quite a lot though, so beware

On a dead-ahead start it shouldn't make the blindest bit of difference as both wheels will be going into compression, however if the bushes are tight it will (in effect) add to the spring rate until the stiction in the bushes lets go.

so it should be ok to leave it off for tomorrow then (saves me a job for tonight )
I didn't know if the car would be likely to try and squat more on one side than the other, upsetting the balance.
