A Message From Landspeed Louise About EPA Motorsports Overreach: HELP!

ST. LOUIS, MO - October 4, 2016: Short and to the point:

For some insane reason 2 guys at the EPA have decided to change the way they enforce the Clean Air Act. By their new definition, or interpretation, ANY car built on an assembly line can NEVER be used in motorsports. This includes ANY vehicle totaled by insurance companies.

In short, if the car or truck got its start as a road vehicle it can NEVER EVER be re-purposed to be used in racing. Anyone doing so is in violation of federal law.

However, these EPA bright bulbs intend on citing the people who make the high performance parts, not the vehicle owners. Never mind the high-performance aftermarket has been actively cooperating with the feds and states for more than 20 years to keep mobile emissions ins check. Racing slots in at a fractional number when compared to mobile emissions sources.

If you agree with me that this nuts on a scale beyond common sense, please tell your elected officials using this handy quick method developed by SEMA. Took me about 60 seconds.

Help prevent EPA Overreach and Support the RPM Act
