it was in the 3rd gen section already.



kid put on new lightweight lugnuts that he bought from a store just before the race. store sold him wrong threaded nuts but they were close enough that they could be tightened and torqued down, yet loose enough that theyd pop off when pressure was applied.



so the first corner he took blew off all his lugnuts and whammo.

Almost looked like someone flipped a "lug nut removal switch".

Im sorry but that is hilarious. It looks like a stunt even though its not. If that would have happened to me I would have laughed my *** off at how it must've looked. I would borrow a club member ramp that minute and go straight to the part store and then home.I dont think its that bad.

Wow thats crazy.
