FYI: The EPA wants to eliminate your future street race car conversion option.
This is not new news to some, but the white house petition is time sensitive. SEMA Press release: https://www.sema.org/sema-enews/2016/06/epa...s-into-racecars Whitehouse .gov petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/...cles-racecars-0 |

The law is the Clean Air Act....and the proposal is not a Bill. It is an enforcement propsal as an interpretation of the intent of the law.
The EPA is the enforcement arm of the executive branch of our government. |

The EPA is the enforcement arm of the executive branch of our government. Yes, who do you think the EPA gets their directive from. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) I'm sure the executive branch of our government has a lot more important things on its agenda than worrying about emission controls for race cars. Every so often organizations like the EPA, the FAA, the FDA etc. have to justify their very existence by showing the country that they are looking out for our best interests and are willing to take action. Weather it does any good or not is beside the point. That's why we have lobby groups like SEMA. On the aviation side we have the AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association), the EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association). These are all powerful, influential organizations that represent large groups of voters. They are also knowledgeable enough to be able prove that some of these proposals are total horse shit. |
