I've thought for a long time that scrutineering isn't fit for purpose. We scrutineer on a Saturday night and by the time the kart hits the track the next morning it carries different wheels, bodywork and engine that haven't been "checked". What's the point? There's more attention paid to post-race eligibility scrutineering including paperwork than safety.

I don't think though that your idea would eradicate stupidity or metal fatigue, depending on what happened here. Indeed it may promote laziness and inattention. There just isn't the man power available - so I hand my log book in and it says "wheel fell off". What do you do? Send a scrutineer with a torque wrench to check before it goes out?

Then the stud would shear..... remember the F1 team who made the angle on the wheel nut exactly the same as the angle in the wheel, 3 fell off before the thought powers were restored.
