AND... In the first heat the wheel came off!!

We are talking a brand new nut on a near brand new wheel.
I've run this car for the past 2 months with those nylocks and had ZERO problems???
I'm not making anyone out to be dumb here but when using serrated nuts you really do have to tighten them right up til they can turn no more.

As i say, not making anyone look daft, just wondering if they are tight enough as i have not had any issues with wheels coming off and i've used the same set of nuts since day one.
