EPA-Its not over yet

[Bruce Noland]

My point is you used this thread to take another cheap shot at the President and you made claims of "fact" that you can't possibly prove. It's a constant series of compulsive political digs that color your posts. I will call you out when I see them since Kenny is not enforcing his ban on these remarks. That's my point.

[Dwight Southerland]

" It's a constant series of compulsive political digs that color your posts." Really?!? You are truly funny!

Mr Noland, a famous bard once said: "me thinks thou do protest too much"

Damages your point

Shakespeare was "the" Bard. And I think you misquoted him but that's OK. Debates are not uncommon and we should not give in to political gamesmanship. Especially, when we are on a racing site that supposedly bans political hacks.

First, I ain't no hack, but you might have missed the memo, that with in the past 7 years and a piece, everything has become political. From the light bulbs in your garage, the food you eat, to which bathroom you use. It is creeping, like living by the Manatee River in a storm. Check the river in the evening, and wake up in the morning with the river circling around the neighborhood.John Kissel

Yeah, and what's your point? Politics is in everything? OK we all understand that. Now the river is rising and we will all be drowned in politics? Except for this site. We won't be drowned in politics here. This is the place we come to discuss racing and escape politics and other world problems.

The EPA at best will be held at bay for awhile. They will find another way to attack anything they want or are being directed too.

Wow, for the sake of using 'obama' instead of "the president" or "a president" you've derailed three pages of the thread. Bush? Hell yeah, his plane just as much as Obama's and as much as Clintons and whatever other president you want to name. THAT WASN'T THE POINT!!!

Nobody even mentioned that the rep responses were "we're keeping an eye on it, don't worry" and the dem responses were "well, we have to have clean air to breath you know" Nobody mentioned that, but no doubt you'll take a hissy fit about that too.

Get back on topic, stop crying about the soon to be gone pres and worry about the future of racing!

(and of course ad hominum attack coming in 3..2...1..)

Hi MIke. I reposted your petition request on all of my racer/car sites and facebook pages. To help spread the word. This is the reply a friend of mine got back.


Robert Tate - PLEASE READ THE RESPONSE I GOT! !!
Thank you for writing to me regarding your support of S. 2659, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016.

I understand your views on this legislation, however I am concerned that, S. 2659, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2016, would remove protections placed in the Clean Air Act.

The Clean Air Act authorizes EPA to establish National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) to protect public health and public welfare and to regulate emissions of hazardous air pollutants. Without protections like these, our children and families could suffer health complications, including asthma and other respiratory ailments.

As a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, I believe it is important to ensure we are protecting our clean air. We must not create loopholes for emissions that would potentially harm our environment and families, while also protecting racecar enthusiast's rights.

Thank you again for writing to express your concerns, and I hope that you keep in touch with my office regarding future legislation. For more information on this and other important issues, please visit my website at http://gillibrand.senate.gov and sign up for my e-newsletter.



WOW! They definitely have their sites set on us dont they. Especially since about 50% of weekend bracket racer's are running "Ethanol". Oh and as a side note. Ive been an inner city paramedic for 28 years. And have yet to see a smog enduced asthma attack.

Yes, really! We'll see if you can change your ways on this issue in the future. Maybe this thread will help. Good luck!
