A 1,000 hp Toyota Celica lose a wheel during drag race

I put a new set of wheels and tires on my Mini last night. While I'm 100-percent confident I did everything the right way, I'll still spend the next several trips worrying that the lug nuts attaching my car to one of the new Kosei K8R wheels will decide they'd rather not do their job. This video isn't helping my anxiety. It starts well. There's a 1975 Toyota Celica. Toyota's legendary 2JZ engine provides around 1,000 horsepower, which we'd classify as "a whole hell of a lot." It sounds and goes very nicely, making multiple runs during the TX2K16, a drag and roll-racing event in, you guessed it, Texas. It faces off against a tough-looking GT-R, before making short work of an Audi R8.
