I have seen that video, but perhaps more to the point, I have seen 
first-hand the results of removable wheels coming off under race 
conditions.  For this reason, for my track car I did two things:  I 
bought a quality quick-release hub from a dependable vendor (I can't 
remember who that vendor was, but his email address is 
Sethracer at aol.com), and EVERY time I put the wheel on I really really 
really made sure that it was on.

Of course, it did not require a torque wrench... :-)
