Lug nuts. Dangerous?

[Chris]

Yeah.. you're right Skool
I can'r remember right now either... heck I put on so many and took them off seems I would know... ROFLOL
But they are quite a bit bigger than a passenger car.
Of course your passenger car don't have wide slicks, extra wide rims, made to run 200 mph, weight 3400 pounds, etc etc...
So needless to say, the suspension is beefed up a bit.

Thanks guys.
Always assumed as much, just nice to know for sure.

Funny you should mention Steven Wallace and JPM in this thread Blu, Steven won that ARCA race where the lugnut hit me and JPM crashed early. Actually, I think it was JPM who got into wallace and damaged his own car to the point he was no longer competitive. I will post pics later when I get to my work computer.

Here are those pic I was talking about.
The first one is JPM and Steve Wallace coming out of turn 4. SW got past JPM on the frontstretch and going into 2, JPM tried to dump him but ended up hitting the wall himself.
The second pic shows the damaged JPM inflicted upon himself. Had he not done that, he might have won the race.

Here are a couple of pictures that show that the lugnuts go all over the place!

Note the lugnut right behind the wheel in this first one.



In this one you can see that when this right rear gets put on, it will definately run over one of the lugnuts!
(This is possibly the one that hit me! I don't remember for sure!)

JUST A REMINDER

Was sitting here watching the BGN races at Lowes...
Watch for the cars to run over the lug nutz as they tear out of the pits.
You can see sparks fly real easy in the night race and thats lug nuts as the tires spin over them...
