Thu, 11 Feb 2016, 15:43 PM EPA Looking to Prohibit Conversion of Street Vehicles into Race Cars

Posted by David Fuller

Hot rodders unite.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a new regulation that would prevent you from converting your street car into a race car. This regulation would impact all vehicle types, including the sports cars, sedans, and hatchbacks commonly converted for use at the track, according to SEMA.

SEMA is actively working to stop the legislation, which would also make the sale of certain products illegal if used for race purposes on street vehicles. You can read the SEMA press release below and then pass the word.

[UPDATE]: Find more from the SEMA Action Network here, and you can sign the online petition asking the EPA to withdraw the proposal here .
