Thats it. With the weights being taken care of at the scale, I would estimate an inspector could be in and out of a pit in 5-10 minutes.

Add an area a team representative to initial stating "Our electrical and pneumatic systems are unchanged since our previous event." and we are at the same place.

Totally illegal bumpers or other obvious faults are...obvious. I don't see DQ's being more likely as they are reserved primarily for not following proper procedure.

I trust regional inspectors to vet out safety risks, and teams to attempt to follow the rules.
