Doesn't the large part of driver safety really fall onto the driver\owner's shoulders?

You'd be surprised how many drivers complained when Allen Curtis and I were tech-ing cars at RTTC.
"Oh my god, why are you checking that?"
"Why does it take so long to tech a car?"
"That's been like that for so long, I don't know why its a problem now."
I bet tech guys get complacent when friends and colleagues are involved.
I wonder since it was a "Street Outlaw" race there was a self tech situation.
