Re: The PRI Report

My understanding is that the AETC (Advanced Engine Technical Conference) prior to the show was cancelled this year.

Does anyone know if that was a one year deal or if the conference is gone forever?

I went to one a long time ago when SuperFlow had them in Colorado and found it to be a great learning experience for me. I found a lot of the other attendees to be interesting people.

Re: The PRI Report

not hijacking this thread but SEMA at the PRI said that the US Congress is trying to passHR-5434 the RPM act that would prevent converting "street cars" into race cars along with adding SEMA approved aftermarket performance equipment----READ UP ON IT B---let your Representatives and Senators in Congress know you are against it and encourage them to vote accordingly-you can read all about it on the PRI /E-news today---FED 387

I think the bill actually allows the removal of emissions equipment if the car is going to be used soley for competition.

The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports (RPM) Act:

* Confirms that it has always been Congress’ intent that racecars are not included in the Clean Air Act’s definition of regulated “motor vehicles.”

* Makes clear that it has always been legal to modify a street vehicle into a racecar used exclusively at the track.

* Confirms that modifying these vehicles for exclusive track use would not be considered tampering and subject to substantial fines.

Re: The PRI Report

Per the PRI email newsletter...

"US Representatives Patrick McHenry (R-NC) and Raul Ruiz (D-CA) have introduced H.R. 5434, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2019 (RPM Act of 2019). The bipartisan RPM Act of 2019 protects Americansâ€™ right to convert street vehicles into dedicated race cars and the motorsports parts industryâ€™s ability to sell products that enable racers to compete."

A rare attempt to prevent an alphabet agency - namely the EPA - from overstepping their bounds and imposing their will on the public.

We went around with this a few years ago - https://www.classracer.com/classforu...ad.php?t=61934 - and it wasn't enacted. I understand Congress is preoccupied but we still need to let our reps know this needs to become law.
