Bummer weekend for you and the Buckeye Cruiser. Ohio State got beat too.
Would like to hear what you think caused the wheel to leave your coach.

> In the way to the Eastern States rally while driving along a ~60mph I
heard 5 seconds of rumble rumble rumble followed by a bang. The right hand
rear wheel along with the drum attached somehow just left the coach.
Fortunately, no body damage and because I had the QuadraBag setup I was
able to comfortably drive about 200 yards to where I could find a good
place to pull over.

I have seen several of these mishaps.
As others already mentioned, when the outter bearing goes, the wheel
will drop off.
You need to check the hub for snug fit of the outter race.
