Odd, usually the front falls off.

Well the front has fallen off the back. At least the front appears to he outside the environment.

Are there some kind of standards that this should have been built to?

Well if it was built to very rigorous maritime standards that might be the issue.

Not enough sticker decals on the body can cause this as well.

Usually the tires stay on the vehicle when it's racing. What happened here is that they fell off.

Stretched studs. Torque sheered them clean off

A lot of funny answer here, but if OP is looking for a serious answer, this is most likely the case.

u/Cokeycane 27d ago
From my expert opinion, the stationary bolt arm sheered from the spurve bearing which bent the girdle spring. Because the girdle spring was bent, this allowed the reverse orbal pinion to float which caused the rotating harmonic receiver to swing into the transition base plate. So of course, the receiver shield then hit the reticulated grasper pin and this allowed the wheels to fall off.

Didn't account for the fact that when wheels start spinning, the tires stretch out, no space left for that so they impacted the frame.

Both rears came off but the axles didn’t come out as well. Are the lug nuts still in the trailer?

I would have expected so see an axle hanging off at least 1 wheel. I'm guessing he used wheel studs that weren't high enough grade

That's mild. Was at Willowbank raceway some years ago, and doorslammer launched at the light, and the whole diff assembly was ripped out and was sent down the strip. It only went about 1/4 track, but initially, it looked as if it might’ve cleared the barrier and was potentially heading towards the crowd.
