If someone opted not to have that recall performed for whatever reason and was running at a national event, what are the chances of a mechanical protest succeeding on a technicality?

Zero. There is no way to prove the recall was done. There is also no "advantage" to having the old springs. They are just more prone to being weak/breaking. Not like the cars with recall done would be down HP.
That would be like saying, my friend with a 13 BRZ that is in the recall population but alread blew one up, could be challanged because he has a motor out of a non recall car.
