Darren:
I think you misunderstood the upshot of my statement. Essentially, I do believe that qualified individuals should be allowed to self-inspect. I do not necessarily believe, though, that this qualification is directly tied to one's driving skills. You clearly have the mechanical aptitude and experience to tech your own car. There are certainly many others in the club with the experience and aptitude to do this as well. I, too, feel at this point that I can appropriately tech my own car. However, I do not necessarily feel that we should summarily allow any and all participants to tech their own cars. In my opinion (and this is just one voice), we should set forth some form of qualification/certification process that is reasonable and hopefully acceptable to any requirements set forth by PCA national and with regard to liability.
