After the proposed changes to the Clean Air Act sent enthusiasts of our industry into a frenzy, seven states have sent letters to the EPA requesting that they stop pursuing these new changes. State attorneys from Michigan, Louisiana, West Virginia, Ohio, Alabama, Arkansas, and Georgia have all brought to the EPA's attention the adverse economic impact that these new rules would have for the industry, along with a squashing of a national pastime.
These supportive politicians have formed the RPM Act to try and get Congress to see our side of things. So far, over 100,000 signatures have been collected (in less than 24 hours) for a White House petition demanding the EPA cancel the proposal to make it illegal to convert street cars into racecars.
The RPM Act (Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016) has been introduced by U.S. Reps Patric McHenry (R-NC), Henry Cuellar (D-TX), Richard Hudson (R-NC), Bill Posey (R-FL) and Lee Zeldin (R-NY). This act makes clear Congress' intent to excluse competition-only cars from the scope of the Clean Air Act, including converted street vehicles.
