Anyone have issues with their lug nuts loosening up a bit after a day of lapping?

For the first time this year I started torqueing (85ft lbs) before and after an event. Thus I've noticed the fronts a little loose after the event.

Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and if it's normal.

yup, it's a very common problem caused by heat build up when lapping. Definitely a good idea to re-torque after your first session of the day on the track. After that, they're usually fine.

I find its just when they are hot, its good to take some time if your chaning or keeping them on, just to let them sit for 10 minutes, then tighten them..

I try and remember to torque mine BEFORE every session at the track. Once is good enought for Solo-2 as we don't build enough heat.
