RTR has the best Tech Inspection team of all the driving clubs. They are very thorough in order to maintain "your" safety. However, I have seen all too many cars roll into the Tech line with most of the lugs soft.
It is not the job of the Tech line to torque the wheels on every car. That is the responsibility of the driver, and it's good that you are conscientious to self check the torque on your own wheels.
I have seen ( and have video footage) of a car pitting out at Summit Point and not going more than 500 feet before one of his wheels flies off and goes bouncing into the grass. That's exactly what Tech is trying to prevent.
