You missed:
Leakdown test --every few race weekends
Check brakes every race weekend
Check wheel bearings --every few race weekends
check ball joints, heim joints, nut and bolt -- every race weekend.
I'm generally a lot less interested in the motor than I am in the
mechanical condition of the car.
I don't rely on tech inspection to catch these things, it's much too
variable.
