I remember when Al Gore said his goal was to eliminate the internal combustion engine. Nothing that comes from the democrats will ever be good for motorsports. Time to dissolve the EPA.

Good luck on that one. It's primarily about money and control disguised as "what is best for the country".

Having an EPA can be a good idea. An EPA can protect the environment from individuals and companies that pollute lakes, streams and groundwater. I remember a chemical company destroyed a lake in central New York, and I don't think that the lake will recover for another 100 years or more. There also are cases where industrial pollution has created cancer clusters in local communities.

On the other hand, having an EAP that is totally out of control to the point that they can mandate when barbecue grills may be used, and what can and cannot be used for off-road interests/recreation is....totally insane.

There are thousands upon thousands of regulations that can be used to dictate what you can and cannot do with your property and person, some of which are disguised in other initiatives. Once regulations are approved--ones that are in many cases spawned by special interest groups--they are exceedingly difficult to undo.

This one in particular is worth fighting against. Hopefully, people will take notice of additional measures and proposals that come down the line, ones which are equally absurd, and take action there too.

I've also had several races friends on facebook say their democrat's. How can you be a racer and be a Dem? I'll never understand that......I guess if you are that's your daddy's EPA doing this.

See post #121.

From Wickipedia:

"The EPA was proposed by President Richard Nixon and began operation on December 2, 1970, after Nixon signed an executive order. The order establishing the EPA was ratified by committee hearings in the House and Senate."

House and Senate were both Democratic in 1970.

I understand that Dale, I just don't understand why a guy can't be A Drag racer and a Democrat.

Re: EPA To Prohibit the Conversion of Street Cars into Race
 

You can.
Everyone knows by now, that Democrats have perfected hypocrisy into an art form.

That's all I will say here...Otherwise, I'll get myself banned and get this whole thread shut down, and it's too important for that.

Re: EPA To Prohibit the Conversion of Street Cars into Race
 

Perfected hypocrisy? Have you spent any time at all in researching your current crop of GOP Presidential candidates? Are you delusional?
