I guess actually looking at the car counts as non-invasive:).  Most of the
weird stuff is hanging right out there for anyone with the power to actually
look to see.  The only stuff that would be hard to find is gearsets, and
funny engines.  We go around the paddock pushing recall buttons on tachs -
when we see a Sprite running say 10 seconds faster than we are and using
1000 rpm less than we do, we suspect oversize engine!  We also listen for
shifts - when a car comes onto the straight and shifts five times, when we
go on in second, and shift twice to fourth, we say : "ah ha! must be a funny
gearbox!"
