What would cause all the lugs to pop off like that? Wrong size tires?

Glad to see the role of "ignorant know nothing" has been filled in the post already...
Big Al-
Chances are the lug nuts were either not torqued properly, or he was using old, stock studs. Improper torque and stock studs with a low shear rate are a bad idea for autocrossing. There's a reason why most racing bodies require upgraded studs.

Actually, they were torqued. However, the lug nuts were not long enough. Auto-X they are supposed to have at least 6-7 threads into the lug nuts or for daily driving for that matter. Someone in Tech missed these. Plus, the owner of the car should of realized it as well.

"Before you guys chastise the guy and rip him a new one make sure you know the whole story.
This guy had just bought those wheels and was given the wrong set of lugnuts. He did torque them and they seemed to torque just fine. However, there are a few things to learn from this:
-If you buy new lugs, make sure they fit properly by screwing them on without a wheel first to see if they go all the way to the rotor hat (or as far as they can) smoothly.
-Always make sure the lug and the lug seat on the wheel are the same style (conical, rounded, etc).
-Always make certain you have enough thread engagement if you use wheel spacers or wheels with the wrong offset for your car (at least 6-7 full turns of the lugnut).
-make sure your lugs are torqued properly.
-Use hub centric rings so that the weight of the car is not carried by the lug studs alone."
Tiger-I agree completely!
