Locking Up Brakes with ABS

Quick question. Last weekend on the freeway I was under full acceleration passing a big truck, probably going 80ish+. He started coming over into my lane and I hit my brakes and dove for the left shoulder.

I locked up my brakes momentarily (you know - loud sqealing tires), longer than I thought was possible with ABS. Right after that I was off the brake altogether (and back on the gas) so I never felt the ABS come on (pulsating pedal). I have no ABS idiot light on so I assume the system is working. Has anybody else experienced this or is it impossible to lock it up with ABS?

TIA
