Default Those Damn Lug Nuts!

Will you consider tightening your lug nuts in autocross?

hah. seen that before. Almost happened to a friend who forgot to tighten the lug nuts at Laguna Seca.

Major vibration on the front straight and he just pulled over at the entrance to T2.

Luckily, the wheel didn't fall off.

Reminds me of that Southwest commercial.... "Wanna get away?!"
