Many years ago, I landed near the end of the day at a remote airport
south of Minden, NV with another pilot during a U.S. national contest.
While we were waiting, we were treated to the sight of yet another
competitor doing a [very] low high-speed pass followed by a steep pull
up to a normal pattern and landing. The rationale offered by the young
man was wanting to inspect the runway closely before landing.

Um, I thought everyone did that ?
Besides, helps spot any rough spots on the ground.
