Default RPM Act

This is an interview that I recently did with Spectrum News. The quotation from the EPA is misinformation. They are already fining race shops for converting VIN cars.

If you want to keep doing this crazy thing that we all love (and hate), it might be time to get involved!

In regards to the Clean Air Act, it actually excludes race cars.

As I understand it, the current situation started in 2015 when the EPA put forward a draft that basically made it illegal to take any emission equipment off of a street vehicle while converting that vehicle for off-road use.

There was a lot of pushback and the EPA withdrew the draft in 2016.

More recently the EPA has started enforcing a law that doesn't really exist by levying fines against race shops.

The RPM Act is a law that protects racecars in clear language.

I don't know how much the guys here follow late model performance cars but I do because I've built a few of them and we're always in the computers. I've been seeing some instances in California where if the computer was re-flashed at all, could be for something as simple as reprogramming engine fans or any CARB legal modification that comes with a handheld tuner, it's being detected during inspection and the cars are not allowed to be registered. Furthermore I know two people that have been fined, they were hit with ridiculous fines of like $200k but if they paid 10% of the original fine and signed an agreement they would NEVER MODIFY ANOTHER CAR they would escape prosecution. That is crazy!
