Their tech inspections are great, he just changed wheels last second and didnt go through again...you cant honestly keep track of everyone who does that.

I got lucky, shit happens, im not mad, the other guy felt terrible but w/e nothign we can do! Being pissed off isnt going to fix my bike any faster ya know?
Some orgs urge the riders to recheck/tech their own bikes throughout the day as well. Or even have someone else look i tover since they may pick up on something you didnt.

i think a guy died at loudon a few years ago because he didnt put the pins in to hold his brake pads in the calipers.
