Memorable moment of the event: Hearing the ice cream truck driving by, looking up and it's Garm! That was too funny Garm :)

another memorable moment!
Here's the talk of the morning!
Here's close up of the detail. Note centering ring, lug nuts... Photo by Mako Koiwai Please make sure you have the proper lug nuts, and that they are torqued down Last edited by justjesus; 12-16-2009 at 01:08 AM. |

my guess is, he's running spacers with stock length lugs. stripped the threads right off.

I was facing him about 200 feet away when that happened -- wild. And... this guy still pointed at and passed the end timing lights.

Similar thing happened here several years ago.
The person was on 2 wheels and came down HARD. They of course checked everything out and it seemed ok. Then the following season; the lugs just snapped. People guess that the metal was just internally damaged which set it up to fail from fatigue. The person, in this case, was not new and definitely torqued everything down. The other occurrence I've heard about was someone borrowed some wheels and lugs(so the taper matched). But it turns out they were a slightly different thread, so they torqued, but mid corner the lug slid right off. |

Well considering the cars y'all have in your region, i suppose middle of the pack overall ain't that bad.
