I take 1 trip drag racing, and broke 3 rear wheel studs....has this happened to anyone else?

Are these prone to breaking?

I read some old posts and they seem like an easy repair.

Are there any aftermarket upgrades?

A while back there was a discussion about Ti studs and lugs. Dunno whatever came from it.


P.S. Dave, sorry I couldn't get by today to drop off your gun. Will get it to you by Friday.

Wow! I've never heard of this. I've been to the track with my 96 GTS for 8 years with no problems and it does 1.37 sixties. I used the stock lug nuts on old Purner wheels. Are you guys using shank/sleeve type lugs?
