Adventure of the Broken Hub - part 2

From the drivers perspective, nothing felt wrong at the beginning of the run. I attacked the course and was very happy with the way I was driving the first part of the course, over cooked the entry to the fast left hand sweeper and as we went down the hill, the back end of the car dropped with a thud and we started spinning.

It was amusing watching the wheel go right by me. I tried tapping the brakes to slow us down, but there were no brakes. We were in for a ride. At least it's autocross - there's nothing near us to hit.

Here's a little preview video of what happened. We happened to have a video camera right behind the wheel that came off.

OMG wow. good thing it was an autocross. I would have ended up off the mountain if that happened to me
