Everybody sells their OE when they buy aftermarket?
You don't have the ~6 wrenches and sockets and jack and jack stands? Bet there's at least a few dozen sets on site that can do the job.

If you can't enforce something, don't restrict it. No one is going to sign up for the threat of at-a-whim teardown work (which is what claiming is, it's not a protest, well-founded doesn't apply there) being a real possibility everywhere you go.

I made the caveat of big events, yeah it'd be totally unreasonable to have your dampers bought out at local events 1-12, but you run the big shows you have to be ready to tear your car down to prove it's legit. But I've got a different mentality from a different time, I will totally accept that claiming has no place in Solo.
I agree, if you can't enforce, don't restrict, they're not going to have a damper dyno at an event to prove damping isn't modified from off the shelf (even if the supplier manages to hold tight enough tolerances for that to be legit), but hell maybe I'm wrong and SCCA is saving up for a NASCAR level tech inspection workshop trailer
throwing out silly ideas sometimes fishes out the right ideas, I never would pitch this with the exception of a 'spec' item that's extremely hard to inspect that has a noticeable impact on performance
Spec Miata engines come to mind, all sealed, all supposedly legit, except that time a few years ago...
