Make sure you use the correct lug nuts...

This is old, but I never saw it before. Apparently he bought lug nuts, they sent him the wrong size and he put them on and torqued the shit out of them.

^ haha I saw someone made that comment under the video about the e-brake. Yeah, that really blows... he knew they were the wrong lug nuts though as far as I can tell.

E-break could have been for the corner he was working on, It looks like it snapped all the lugs of the one wuheel but I can't tell. Sweet ass videuo though.

The drivers rear snapped them all off completely...but the others seemed to have only broke off where the lug nuts werer on the rim.

Still sucks to be him...

That is really sad. After the car stopped, as I was watching the rest of the video, I kept thinking, "What if that were my car?"

At least it happened at a sanctioned event, not some kid goofing off on a public street (thinking of safety here).

Why would anyone, who Autocrosses, for chrissakes, knowingly run the wrong size lug nuts on their car ???
