How strict is the tech inspection @ RF?

I am planning on going out to Rock Falls this Sunday for the test and tune. I've never been to this track before and need some info from members that have been there.

My basic question is this: my battery is relocated to the back of my car. It is bolted to a plate that is welded to the metal decking in the trunk. According to Rock Fall's website,

"Any car with a relocated battery must be equipped with a master electrical cutoff, capable of stopping all electrical functions including ignition (must shut the engine off, as well as fuel pumps, etc.). The switch must be located on the rear of the vehicle, with the "off" position clearly marked. If the switch is of a "push / pull" type, then "push" must be the motion that shuts off the switch, and plastic or "keyed" typed switches are prohibited."

Also, they apparently want it in an NHRA approved plastic box...

In everyone's experience, what is the likelihood this will be enforced to this degree on a test and tune day?

Also, my helmet is circa 1997. How anal retentive to they get with SNELL ratings?

Any insight would be a great help because I have limited time to prepare.

Thanks
