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

I haven't seen anything new specifically on the RPM Act, but you can follow all of the new developments on this topic on SEMA's website dedicated to it.
https://www.sema.org/epa-news and https://www.sema.org/RPMAct

It does seem as though this is starting to gain some positive traction in Washington. From an article posted yesterday:

Quote:
SEMA commends Attorneys General Mike DeWine (Ohio), Patrick Morrisey (West Virginia), Leslie Rutledge (Arkansas), Luther Strange (Alabama), Jeff Landry (Louisiana), Bill Schuette (Michigan), Sam Olens (Georgia) and Adam Laxalt (Nevada) for their efforts to stop EPA overreach and to protect racing.

In a letter dated April 1 to the EPA, the attorneys general stated: “… we strongly urge the U.S. EPA to remove the aforementioned language referencing vehicles ‘used solely for competition’ from the final rule. Not only is this language inconsistent with the federal Clean Air Act, but any purported benefit from this change would pale in comparison to the economic damage caused by this regulation.”
