There is another possible wrinkle to this as well.

As you know, there is a complete ban on 'repairing the kart on the track'. If your son was upside down then righting the kart would possibly have qualified as a repair, particularly if he actually needed help to get out from under and then to put the rubber side down.

In other words, although the other karts might have got out of the tyres unaided, your son / kart needed to be 'repaired', even if the repair was 'only' a qualified scrutiny.

It's a rule which allows of some leeway in the CoC's decision. Not long ago a driver was penalised for pushing a multiway connector back into its socket, in part because he got out of the kart, walked round it and looked under it before realising the connector had become disconnected. (The kart was in a relatively safe position, off the track.)
