you would be 4th guy today to repost this, looks legit, I could see someone actually forgetting to tighten after they swap out wheels and tires at the event.

the guy should hand his keys to someone else and walk away! find it pretty amazing though that they all came off at the same time, seems impossible. funny though, lol.

See my reply in the AutoX forum.

1/2 inch lug nuts on 12.5mm studs. Just enough thread contact to torque them down, not enough to hold them on the car when you start pulling cornering forces.

I'm guessing this was a case of confusing 12mmx 1.25mm lugs w/ 1/2-20 UNF ones.

they all came off at the same time, car was only 2 wheels drive so I'm sure he just didn't even tighten his lugs , the studs were sheered off from the force of the wheels spinning.
