EPA To Prohibit the Conversion of Street Cars into Race Cars

[Yo Ken]

Guys, please stay on topic, this issue is to important to argue about political beliefs. I knows its hard not to bring politics into this subject, but we need to focus on the EPA, not each others core beliefs.

I wont close the thread or remove anyone's posts unless it gets ugly or someone gets threatened. I know many are very passionate about their political beliefs, but please try to show some restraint when posting.

Thanks
Ken

Of course I have. They are by no means perfect but far superior to anything the republicans have to offer. I will yield to Kenny's wishes and make this my last post on political issues.

Voting has consequences.




The adminstrator of the EPA is a presidential (political) appointment. Not too sure what the big mystery is.

The exchange between the EPA Administrator and Congressman Scott was very testy. I googled who the EPA answered to and that is supposed to be congress yet the EPA carries on as if it were autonomous (and omnipotent). Maybe it's time to rein in some of these agencies.

Let me help you get your facts straight and why you have no credibility.
My last race car was a legal NHRA F/SA #4646 built by Woodro Josey Racing / Elisha Boyd Racing and was dam fast and competitive and could have won a few races if the car had a better driver.LOL
My real name is David Huff,retired from racing and yes I still love drag racing.

This petition started off strong with about 10,000 signature in the first 24 hours. It got to 30,000 in a few days. It is flat now at about 45,000 or so.

Please forward this petition to everyone on your email list and ask them to sign the petition. It needs to exceed 100,000 signatures for the White House to respond.

The EPA, like ATF, IRS, DOT, DOJ and many other alphabet agencies, are part of the executive branch, I.E. they answer to the president. Congress has incorrectly relinquished much of its' authority to the these autonomous bureaucrats and allowed them to come up with their own rules and regulations as they see fit. They thumb their nose at Congress and get away with it for the most part, (remember Lois Lerner?). The only thing Congress truly controls is the funding for these agencies, and as we've seen, they do a lousy job of it.

A loud, unified voice, sending a steady stream of messages to our representatives to back up the efforts of organizations like SEMA, will get their attention and maybe help get some of this stupid stuff off the table.

Hey Greenlight, The number is 148K +. Hope that makes us all feel better.algore is better at selling stuff as algezera is going bust and will go away in April, and we were supposed to be all gone by some time in late January according to his bad guess of 10 years ago.John Kissel

That is the petition to the Whitehouse. This is a different document and will be sent to members of Congress. It stands at 45,561 as I write this and needs to be signed as well. Comments can be left there also.

Ancient history and not a racer. Thank for the facts.
