When I pit crewed for dirt cars, other racers could pay for an inspection by the officials of any car competing in a race after a race was over. If the person refused to allow the inspection, he was disqualified from the race.  It was a way of keeping guys from having illegal parts inside their engines when their class required stock parts.  It also applied to displacement measurements for the class and things like tire stagger, tire sizes too. Maybe if you know someone racing in the class you belong in, they can give you an idea of what sort of inspection you can expect, and what sort of enforcement is used.


One year, a racer at our track won the last race of the year to become the class champion and his runner up for the class championship paid for his inspection after that last race.  The racer in question gave up the win of the last race of the year and gave up the class championship because he refused to let the officials tear down his engine...  My Pit chief loved that because he said the guy was known to have cheated before by all his competitors.  So there is that kind of thing to consider when you are racing... So if it's illegal to use those landsdownes.....you might want to know in advance.
