I can't say that I've ever seen anything like this. I've been to the 24 hours of Daytona and seen a team or two lose a wheel on the first lap. I've seen Austrailian touring cars lose a wheel here and there. I've not seen a car lose all four of them at once on an autocross course. It almost makes me wonder if it wasn't faked somehow, but after viewing it a few times, I'm guessing it's just a case of really bad luck and possibly short studs. Either way, it is a reminder to torque your lug nuts.

We were at Cal Speedway in March, waiting by the hotpit wall for Chris to come in for pressures and temps. A first gen rx-7 came down the hotpits with a wobbly driver rear wheel. About 50 feet from us it broke free of its mooring and came bouncing towards us, opposite sode of the wall. We decided we'd better go past him closer to the track exit, so that Chris could quickly get to us. I felt bad walking past the guy, but you know, what were we gonna do? Fortunately it didn't happen at speed on the oval.
