[s2rrr]

One wheel nut off each wheel and off you go, but slowly.

Bob :down:

[FILFAN]

that was lucky it could have been alot worse if on a bend

now where did i put that trolly jack

glad he was ok though and no major damage done

[Cleggy the Spyder Man]

I have always been paranoid about wheel nuts -

surely it must have given you some clues that the wheel was about to fall off?

[Ciprian]

bl**** hell, better get mines checked...

[John Loudon - Sponsorship Liaison]

How do you know it was a tyre fitter and not the driver himself?

[Cleggy the Spyder Man]

by reading the Youtube comments I presume

[Mark Stanton]

What would be embarassing was if both your rear wheels came off in front of a crowd of people with cameras whilst competing at a sprint

[ajpearson]

mmmm, sadly that seems to happen far too often after a tyre change. But they you are always advised to check the torque after 100miles or so

[MGF255]

Looks like a pretty bad road for it to happen .

I was once mocked at a circuit for checking all 16 wheel nuts after the first session but better safe than sorry I say .

Wonder how much was ground off the under side of the ball joint / wish bone !!!

[Terry Everall]

I always check my nuts are in place before I give it the gas on the start line particularly on circuits that required big b............s
