Having said that, at my last HPDE, I rechecked the lugs after the first outing (they were torqued to 140 cold) and 2 were loose. I left the torque wrench @ 140 and re-tightened. One tightened up, but I stripped the threads on the 2nd one. I won't be using 140 when they're hot anymore. Probably 110 max.

I know this is old but since it's already been revived...
You tightened them when they were pretty hot still I assume? It's far easier to break/strip a lug stud at 600 degrees F than at 100 degrees...
I never tighten hot lugs unless I'm running a real bolt/stud/etc (ARP/etc)
