Good for a laugh, but also a strong reminder to make sure you've got more than two threads engaged on your wheel bolts/ lugs.

The best part of the whole thing is that you can see that he set his parking brake before getting out of the car!

I have seen a lot of posts about this incident this morning on various forums, and it was blamed on incorrect size and thread pitch of the lugnuts the owner had just bought and installed by those who were there.

I've read that too but it hard to believe.

It's true! I was also at that event in Valdosta Georgia. Couldn't believe my eyes.

That video reminds me of the worst Autocross incident I ever saw in person.. It was in the 90's at Crows Landing naval airfield. A first gen RX7 lost a rear rear and bounced on the gas tank and burnt to the ground ... Same deal .. loose lug nuts
