I'm a tech official and it wasn't me. On my first meeting as a licencsed tech official I sent a car away because the wheels weren't tightened and it simply wasn't ready for inspection. Note, that in

I heard he had torqued the lugs, but was using "the wrong ones" so perhaps wrong thread pitch or something of that nature. _______________________________________________ Edit your replies http://www

I am not buying the "wrong lugnuts" theory. If he had "torqued them up", they would not have walked off. The studs would have sheared, but the video plainly shows lugnuts on the ground with nothing i

Might be too long of a shoulder on the lug nuts. They "torqued up" by bottoming out, but did not fasten the wheels tightly to the hubs. I was that nearly 15 years ago with a guy on the British Race G

Agree, poor maintance practices. Lugs were started and not tight. Always the last thing checked before hitting the track each and every time. Bet he never forgets again. _____________________________

I like your idea of the shoulder being too long. I was thinking he bought cheap lug nuts and over-torqued them. Some studs sheared and some maybe just stripped and let the lug nuts slide off. I've se

No, that was a different crash.... the one you refer to was Tony Drews at Road America, and was indeed a broken axle. That took place about 5 years ago. The one I referred to took place at Blackhawk

When I was young, fit and playing Rugby in England, I quite often broke off lug nuts on my AN5 by lifting the car off the ground when making sure the nut was tight! Michael _________________________
