Nothing personal, James, but it makes me nuts when I see this.

The fact is that a scrutineer does not have the authority to issue any kind of waiver to allow a car on track that does not meet the rules. Only the chief steward at the event can do that.

That said, the CS will *usually* go with the recommendation chief of tech on an item such as this, and if a car such as this came to a race where I was chief I would undoubtedly make such a recommendation to the CS. I would probably also recommend that the CS notify the flag chief, so he could pass that info on to his corner captains.
