I kind of understand the belts, helmet, transmission cases and chassis inspections for same reasons already listed. The trans and flex plate shield is the one that gets me. It’s a chunk of metal. Unless something explodes. How could it possibly “wear out”? Never understood that. I will say I feel safer at NHRA/IHRA tracks. Ever been to an outlaw track? You see some stuff that’ll really make you question safety.

How about a stick cars scattershield, made of 1/4" steel, needing recert every 2 or 5 years, depending on SFI spec used.Short of a clutch explosion, which would ruin the bellhousing, how the hell does that wear out?

Skin and hair oils degrade the foam in the helmet. Next time you are at a goodwill store, yard sale, etc and see an old helmet flip it over and pull the fabric back a little and you will see what has happened to it.
