CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - EPA To Prohibit the Conversion of Street Cars into Race Cars

Since the comparison has been made, I'm happy that most of us live in states where, for the most part, we can chose to own the firearms and accessories that we chose to. Not everyone is so fortunate and without strong, grassroots organizations, things would be quite different. There are most certainly bans on common items in different locations around the country and people sitting in jail for doing things that you and I do everyday without a second thought. Some of us have learned to not underestimate the resolve of the "government knows best" crowd.

Conspiracy theory?

Sounds to me like the EPA position is that what we've been doing since 1968 has always been illegal. They're just getting around to doing something about it now. It's gone from factories, cars and trucks to bar-b-ques, lawn mowers and weed whackers. Frankly, I'm wondering what took them so long to get around to race cars, muscle cars, etc.

I would suggest not shrugging this off as "much ado about nothing". We should be calling and emailing our congress people, signing petitions, whatever can be done.
