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 |

Much ado about nothing. Read the fine print.

Much ado about nothing. Read the fine print. I have read some of it, and I disagree with you. They are "clarifying" an existing rule in a way that contradicts the previous interpretations of it. So they can say, "Well you were breaking the law all along, we just never enforced it before." Much the same way that my home state does not require smog tests for 1975 and earlier cars, but they are all supposed to still meet all of the old requirements. So they can later say, "OK, we are testing again--and since the requirements didn't change, nobody is grandfathered out." It looks like they are going to use this primarily to keep anyone from modifying any street cars, by going after anyone who makes non-certified parts for cars. So no more of getting "for off-road use only" parts though the mail--or if you do get them, they'll cost a whole lot more! You might want to worry a bit more, Chris. That's your livelihood they appear to be after. --DD |
