The main thing the event cares about is that the car carries liability insurance. Mods if present are not their concern, as in the registration forms you self declare modified or stock. The tech inspection before the event is mostly for safety, they are not looking for catalytic converters and such. Anyone who has been to the event can back me up on this. It's mostly kick the tires and honk the horn type of inspection.

Very true.
The car must be registered for road use, with plates, and insured.
Inspection checks all exterior lights and tire pressure, and may check tire size. They might check wipers; I can't recall. They do allow a few pounds increase in tire pressure from driving up to the event. That is, I had entered as "Modified Production", so the limit was 50 psi. The inspector's gauge showed 52; he said that was fine because when cold the tires would have been several psi less - which is a true statement.
Of course if you enter as Stock Production, you can't show up with aero panels added all over your car. Stickers, decals, and even added instrumentation don't count as modifications, so far as I know.
