My understanding is it will prohibit converting a street car into a race car. I am sure it is more involved than that but that is the basically the idea. Pretty much eliminates sportsman type racing. Everyone should sign the SEMA letter.
All racing of stock-bodied cars with modified engines could become federally outlawed. Here’s the background of all the RPM Act posts you’ve been seeing. The United States Environmental Protection Agency has reinterpreted the Clean Air Act in a way that means that they have control over racing vehicles that are never used on public roads. The EPA therefore believes it is illegal to build any race car from any vehicle that was originally a production car IF that means that any part of the emissions system has been disabled or modified. If the EPA wins, it means the end of amateur drag racing, circle track racing, road racing, off-road racing, and even drifting. This includes cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Even if you don’t race, consider how this could devastate the performance aftermarket industry. @semashow has been fighting this since 2015 and has delayed a ruling, but the problem is back. SEMA is supporting the RPM Act: Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports. You can help by contacting your Congressperson to support this bill.
