Yeah, I have never lived in a state that required regular vehicle inspections. Emissions testing? Sure. But checking your brakes work? Or your lights work? Or your bushings aren't worn and your wheels about to fall off? Nope.

However, every single race track I have been on has required DETAILED inspections before racing.

I have actually driven a vehicle to a race, failed inspection and denied access to the track, and drove the vehicle home.

That's freedom American-style. (Completely illogical.)
