You can often get away with bypassing the safety regs, because yeah, most sup-pro-level events don't have the staff to check every car thoroughly anyways. So long as they've at least told you what you're supposed to be doing, it gives them a little liability coverage in court if you get hurt and your car wasn't up to spec.
But keep in mind those safety recommendations are there for a reason. It's probably better in practice to be doing more than your time strictly requires, if you don't want to be a drag-strip statistic someday.
