Here's what happens when you don't retorque the lug nuts on your trailer after putting on new tires. On my way to Norwalk Wed. morning 80 miles from home suddenly I'm on the drums at 65 mph. A sound I've never heard before ! All 12 studs sheared off. Found 1 tire/wheel bout a mile back.

Wow! I've never seen anything like that! Hopefully, you made it back OK.

Jake did a great job this weekend too. It's hard to believe he can drive that car anywhere and it runs so well. You guys have done a great job with that Bird.
