Bump stops are progressive (at least the ones on all my race cars were) tapered diameters, progressively thicker material, accordion like designs (collapsible) etc etc. If they didn't have some sort of progressive nature to them...why even use them?!

I just dislike "pack" in the way its used in our cars because it is completely un-controllable. you can set it any which way you see fit, but depending on a multitude of variables (o-ring health, shaft health, shock body health, contamination, air, etc etc) the "pack" you built your shocks with, can/will vary from the moment your car hits the dirt.

Not starting an argument here, just trying to think outside the box....I dislike not being able to quantify an aspect of a race vehicle, so I'm trying to stimulate the who/what/why/why/why of shock tuning. Because shock tuning directly effects every other aspect of the car...which we document, quantify, and correlate to other aspects of the car.....but shocks, we just experiment until it "feels" good. seems counter-intuitive to me.

I still play by the rules that are in motion...but also looking thinking about alternatives.

Question everything!
