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

For guys that don't get the SEMA newsletter:

Fact: The EPA’s proposal would not affect purpose-built racecars, such as sprint cars, open-wheel dragsters and the cars that currently compete in NASCAR.

The EPA agrees that vehicles that were originally manufactured for racing are excluded from regulation under the Clean Air Act. However, the EPA believes this exclusion extends only to vehicles that were never certified for on-road use or issued a VIN.

Sounds like cars built from a Body in White" are exempt? Like NASCAR, and a Pro Stock car?
Maybe somebody with a '93/'02 Firebird/Camaro built from a Body in White please PM me what your VIN tag looks like?

Thanks, Ed
