Not sure how me pointing out your hipocracy proves your point. If you read the legal brief provided to the Le Mons group it is very clear the EPA is using a broad sword to give a hair cut to the aftermarket industry and if they take out auto racing in the process what do they care. I promise if you don't write your representatives this will become the law and we will find out if they are willing to enforce. Not worth the risk in my opinion as it would be very hard to argue once it's in place. A simple letter to your rep and senator will go a lot further than all the law suits filed after the fact. Especially with the elections coming up in November.
The restriction against removing emissions equipment on street cars even those converted to race cars has been in place for a few decades. The part that is germane to my comment about opinions on the Internet is when you come to the forum and start going ape shit in inverse proportion to the actual facts. You're entitled to your own opinion, but you're not entitled to your own facts. It doesn't work like that. It's an issue that needs to be resolved. It should have been addressed 20 years ago.
SEMA doesn't care about your racing. SEMA cares about the members being able to sell non compliant mods for people to put on street cars. They didn't say anything when the enforcement was directed at the user but now when the enforcement effort is directed toward the suppliers it takes all the priority of Sheriff Bart coming to take Rock Ridge's white women. Were SEMA concerned about your racing they would have beat this drum a few decades ago.
This is an EPA rule making process. Unless Congress passes a law specifically prohibiting what the reg is to implement our reps really don't have much of a say. Do you really think they'll get something drafted, through committee, onto the floor, passed and on the President's desk by July? A committee can convene a panel but that doesn't have the effect of the rule of law. It's a glorified press conference to give the illusion something is being done. The best choice is to become involved in the rules making process. The agencies are usually required by law to get comment from the public on any new rule implementations or changes to existing rules. Certainly write your reps but at this point commenting on the rule during the comment period and having a threat of litigation is much better leverage. It's an election year, nothing is getting done until the next Congress convenes in January 2017. The EPA has started to walk back some of the comments and proposals with regards to track only cars and I'd guess they'll work some sort of compromise where you can race a track only car. That's not really what SEMA wants, though. The members won't make money selling to racers only, they need to sell to everyone. The tougher fight will be for the street parts that are clearly used to bypass emissions requirements. SEMA wants to piggyback on your racing in order for the members to keep selling parts to cheat emissions.
