Pass me a beer, Bruce...

Call and/or email your congressional representatives. SEMA is taking this seriously, everyone with any involvement in the sport, hobby, industry, etc., should as well.


EPA Administrator McCarty appeared before a congressional committee last week. In the middle of the 3 hour session, this 2 1/2 minute exchange took place between she and Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia.



Some people in Congress are paying attention to this. They need to know that we are also.

Great to see Congress is talking about it. They need to understand though that this references street vehicles being modified and converted to competition.

Congress needs to know there is a big difference between that and cars like late models, dragsters, sprint cars, Nascar, etc. that weren't built with street use in mind. I wrote all of our Senators and Congressmen as well as a few committee chairs.

I watched the video and that gal has to go. She didn't seem to know the language discussed was even in the rules written by her department. This from a Democrat who thinks the EPA is, in general, a good thing.

Scott's closing statement is what has struck me most about this whole thing. Wording relating to race cars buried in legislation dedicated to heavy trucks.

Go to YouTube and enter "EPA and race cars" in the search field if you have time to kill.

Does anybody doubt just how important it is to vote? The one before she got this position was from n.j. and was worse. John Kissel
