LVD has stiffened up in recent years. Used to go and for a street car they pretty much would just shake the battery and you were done. Maybe ask if you bought a helmet. Now they want to look at the helmet, and for the spray they are thorough about always checking out the bottle and blowdown tube, and usually asking about a loop. Haven't pressed it, so since I run on slicks but have stock studs, I will usually tech in on the street tires and then swap, so they don't hassle me about stud length. Though one time I did it at Island, when I told them the car ran 11s he said technically you should have steel valvestems, not the stock rubber ones, but they let me slide.
