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.

That will ruin your day. How do you jack the car up after that?

Ha, wow, I was thinking maybe 1 wheel was going to come off.
Reminds me of that Southwest commercial.... "Wanna get away?!"

From what I heard, it was done intentionally as a prank by some "friends."
