wow that sucks!
Those darn plastic lug bolts.LOL.
Wow...looks like his lugnuts fell off..??
I hate when that happens!
There's no way my driver's ed teacher taught me how to do this !!!
Wow, that blows!
I snapped wheels off of my '69 GTO twice back in the day (late '70's), but it was only one rear wheel at a time. I remember sliding to a stop after the RR wheel snapped off at 50 MPH. I was able to slide it nicely into the breakdown lane as I watched the wheel blow by me into a gully. Had someone get me some new studs and was cruising again in no time! The other time I just juked the gas on my street and the wheel snapped off and got wedged in the wheel well. I had too much power for stock studs - this guy should pummel the life out the ****nut who sold him the wrong lugs. OTOH, shouldn't be racing if you don't know what size lugs you use!
:burnout: :hick:
Apparently more than one sentence is too much for some to read - lol
Looks almost like someone loosened them all when he wasn't looking.
This would be very embarrassing. I bet he just changed tires when he got to the track and forgot to put the lugs on or only a couple of turns. Haste makes waste.
I kind of did this when I was 15. I purchased a Honda 600 that did not run. If you remember this was a funny little car with an air cooled twin engine, looked almost like a motorcycle engine.
I took the engine all apart, new rings, timing chain, gaskets. Got it all back together and it ran great. Took it for a test drive but did not tighten up any of the wheels. The wheels did not come off but it ruined all of them and all the lugs. It was lots of fun even back in the mid-seventies to find used wheels and parts for this thing. Don't ever remember really driving the little Honda, I think I just sold it and made a couple of bucks.
What a stupid little car. It's hard to believe that Honda became the car company it is today with this start.
To this day I double check it every time.

Yeah really...I could see maybe one, or at the very most 2 breaking, but if you look REAL close, you can see almost all the studs are still there...either wrong nuts, or they didn't run em all the way down or torque 'em, one.
LOL...bet the guy had a high pucker factor when it happened :shakeass:
that's the best part of wheel covers. they sound like maracas before the tire falls off.
but what are the chances of all four at once --- million to 1
thats what i was thinking i bet the person who did it didnt think they all were going to fall off at the same time.
Good thing he was wearing those racing shoes or things could've been alot worse...
For all you guys guessing at what happend... it tells you right in the header.. thats why I dident bother to put it in the message.

lol-- It does say that on top.
your eye goes right to the video as it starts --lol
Too right! (i just didn't see the header) lol
I didn't guess. I was merely stating WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE
Hence the "almost";)
