[QUOTE="mark, post: 1476717, member: 16354"] I think he was suggesting it was not secured "well". I do have to agree with Jim, that tire should not have jettisoned like that. If it was wing-nut bolted on it would have gone NOWHERE. If it was just strapped on like I saw many done... it either wasn't strapped well (captured, 3-points would be my recommendation so it can't move in any direction) or the strap broke, which either mean HK needs to evaluate allowing tires to be strapped on with a ratchet strap, or there were other extenuating circumstances. Definitely an "oh ****" moment for that team when they realized what was about to happen, but could do nothing about it. One this that surprised me in the video, and maybe I didn't see it or the course official was all by himself.... no flagger or anything to go up course a little with a yellow flag or something to warn other drivers. I don't know the spot in the course, but may be a good thing for future races to have two people at each spot, one person can be a flag-man if something like this happens, especially at a "pinch point" like this. Web-wheeler opinion based souly on the videos shown above. [/QUOTE]
