This is my doing, so....
Most of the cars are driven to the event. If the wheels havent fallen off, throttle cable stuck or the engine hasnt overheated and puked coolant everywhere on their 1-2 hour trip, then it wont happen on course. Its a huge hassle, and its really a formality because there's not really anything to find given the 'quick' tech thats usually done.
If we give them a tech sheet and tell them to go over their car and then bring it back, we're accomplishing the same thing.

It saves alot of time. And its not the job at tech to make sure the car is properly classed and legal... if there is something wrong with the car, then its up to the competitors (in that class) to protest. Do we have a protest procedure? Not really, but i'm sure me and G can inflict some pain on any cheating bastards
