I am not suggesting we do that; it was a race car and all the parameters are different, but it did suggest to me that we don’t need to be gentle."</span></div><div class="ydpe406b956yahoo_quoted" style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"><br></span></div><div class="ydpe406b956yahoo_quoted" style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I was at a race last year (IMSA LMP3) the mechanic was tightening the octagon knock-offs with a torque wrench to 250 ft/lbs. I questioned him and he does it at the start of ewach race weekend to ensure that his air tool is properly adjusted to the correct setting. Yes, it was a race car but 250 lbs and they self tighen as they are driven?</span></div><div class="ydpe406b956yahoo_quoted" style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"><br></span></div><div class="ydpe406b956yahoo_quoted" style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;" dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">Bob</span></div><div class="ydpe406b956yahoo_quoted" style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;"><div id="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493"><div><div class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493WordSection1"><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><font size="3"></font><br></p><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><font size="3"></font><br></p><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;"> </span></p><div class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493yqt5848287468" id="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493yqt55687"><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><b></b><br></p><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"> </p><div><div><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt;"><br></p><div><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"> </p></div><div><p class="ydpe406b956yiv0221538493MsoNormal"><br clear="none"></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="ydpe406b956yqt5848287468" id="ydpe406b956yqt04181"><br clear="none"></div></div><div class="ydpe406b956yahoo_quoted" style="font-family:'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#26282a;">
