Off topic, maybe.
I worked at an appliance manufacturing plant for 30 years. One of the BIG ones. Not gonna mentions name because it's not really important. This manufacture has it's corp offices in Louisville, KY. and also it's biggest facilities located there.
They use to make water softeners in the USA but it all went to China. I, one day happened to see a water softener in the warehouse. I stopped to look at the box and noticed on the box " A product of XYZ appliance company, Louisville, KY. USA."
Looked everywhere else on box and nothing about made in USA or China or ??
I guess this is legal but it sure is misleading and I'm sure they're not the only company doing it.

I disagree, Here is a link on the PRI site about a company selling stand alone ECU's to race cars specifically off road vehicles.

Thugs and bullies, engaged in intimidation tactics. Pick on one little guy who looks like easy pickings, make up some crap, destroy his business. How many other little guys are going to fall in line or quit out of fear. Not because they are doing anything wrong.

I may be misinformed, but I understand it is BS like this that was a big part of the decision of the Coughlin family to unload the family business.

They harass people into submission. It's their MO. All of these agencies operate out of the same playbook.

We aren't supposed to get political on this site but politicians are seeking to end our liveliehood. Find out who the politicians are beholden to and replace them with people who aren't.
If companies are forced to stop selling 90% of their parts for street cars do think they can still make a business case for the 10% of their sales that are for racing? We'd be like like the 1940's where you cast your own cylinder heads.

Didn't JEGS get sued by the state of California not too long ago. I vaguely remember reading that over the winter. I'm sure someone reading or contributing to this thread has better info than my not so good memory?
Thanks

This sport is dying on its own, there is nothing from the outside pushing it out of business.

All motorsports are dying.

Enjoy it while it is still here.

There is too much money in the High Performance Parts industry for SEMA and it's members to let this happen. FJB!

Re: RPM Act Hearing
 

Ca is running all motorsports and industry out and trying to push their green agenda nation wide. They are out of touch with reality here. They have ruined so many small and large businesses here its scary! The smart ones already moved and many to follow. They are using global warming to their advantage even though science does not support what they are pushing. Newsome (The Teflon Don) and the Blue Crew here think they have the all the answers. NOT! My guess is Gavin never had a cool car! Auntie Nancy would not let him!

Thank you Antron for your efforts.

Blaming a politican might make you feel all warm and fuzzy, but the proof is out there.

Drag racing has evolved in the wrong direction.

Detroit is not making cars, mostly trucks now.

What does the classification guide have for 2023.

Forget about nascar too, half empty grandstands,
Removed grandstands.


Wait until nhra decides to allow camrys in SS, with a nascar type toyo (chevy) engine, and who will be the first fool to switch to a camry in P/S.


Also wait until nhra allows fwd conversions is SS for camrys.

Who will be the first fool in P/S to run a camry?

The youth of 'merica do not attend the right vocational classes in high school to make new racers.

The closest 1/4 mile track is 200 miles from my home now.

Thats what is killing small race shops, not politicans and gvmt. rules.

Trust me I hated that too, but 2008 affected more American workers (I know of one personally who worked for Nike), none of it is/was good, and it's a MAJOR BUMMER for the families who were affected directly by it!
