It's protest item, just like most other things. I suspect there would be a
few, and a lot of "can I check you camber" unofficial friendly checks, but
after awhile, I won't suspect that much more work if any.

I say if a car's camber adjustments came loose on course, then they're
screwed enough in the time they will turn because of it. Ever driven a car
with loose camber bolts? I have and it was ugly ;-). If the adjustment
were to be found loose in impound, as in moveable by hand, then they are
hurting themselves if they purposely loosened it before running.
