If i remember right, the problem was the wheel studs were stressed, the car didnt have hubcentric rings. All that plus hard driving = FAIL.

Yet another mistake!!
Hot brakes and clamping the pads against the rotors.

After grinding to halt on the rotors themselves warpage is the least of his worries. I just thought it was funny that he set the brake.......it's not like the thing is going to roll away.
