Believe it! While the EPA is not arresting racers - yet - it has made plain the intent to charge parts makers with criminal intent to subvert the Clean Air Act. This means you can still build your cars, but if the EPA move is left unchallenged, good luck finding parts.

After a seven-week recess, Congress has returned to Washington, D.C. Time is limited before lawmakers head back home for the fall campaign season. While your federal elected officials are in the Capitol, your voice is crucial to furthering our progress on the RPM Act. Now is the time for action!
From SEMA NEWS
To mark lawmakers’ return, SEMA has drafted a new letter urging action on the RPM Act in the final months of session. SEMA urges member companies and racing enthusiasts to send the new letter to your federal elected officials today. Even if you have previously sent a letter, your voice is needed once again to ask for immediate congressional action to pass the bill this year.
SEMA has provided a quick and easy way to send the new letter. Simply visit www.sema.org/rpm and fill out your name and contact information. It only takes a few minutes!

Look at what they just did to Harley-Davidson.
$12,000,000.00 Fine Plus another $3,000,000.00 to be donated to a "Clean Air Project" for the race tuner they were selling through their dealer locations.
That's sounds pretty real to me.

Thank You very much to the 3 people who contacted their legislator through the SEMA network.
We can only hope many, many more of you simply stepped up and got it done.
Frankly, if this gets through, there will be little reason to continue with Save the Salt becasue the overwhelming majority of land speed racers will become instant criminals according to the present language in force.
This new enforcement policy interpretation from the EPA will precipitate a collapse of the high performance aftermarket as ALL motorsports will be effectively and brutally "sucker punched."

For what it's worth......
Dear Mr. XXX:
Thank you for contacting me to share your views regarding S. 2659, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016 or “RPM Act.” I appreciate hearing your thoughts on this issue.
As you know, the Clean Air Act, which became law in 1970, regulates air emissions from stationary and mobile sources. Since this law was enacted, these regulations have never applied to vehicles used solely for competitive purposes. In 1990, Congress confirmed this exemption when it authorized the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to regulate “nonroad vehicles.” In 2015, the EPA proposed automobile emissions rules that put this exemption into question. This proposed regulation is particularly harmful to Arizona, which is home to more than a dozen motorsport parks and tracks that support an active racing community and contribute significantly to the state’s economy.
I am a proud cosponsor of S. 2659. If enacted, the RPM Act would reaffirm the exemption of modified motor vehicles from the Clean Air Act and therefore prevent the EPA from applying these emissions rules to race cars. This legislation has been referred to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. While I do not serve on this committee, please be assured that I will continue to support efforts in the Senate to prevent the EPA from applying its unfair and improper application of the Clean Air Act on racing vehicles.
Again, thank you for contacting me to share your concern about this issue. I hope to stay in touch on this and other matters of concern.
Sincerely,
John McCain
United States Senator
