EPA To Prohibit the Conversion of Street Cars into Race Cars

[Rory McNeil]

What a load of crap! How would the EPA know what somebody does with their own car after they buy it? If I was to buy another old Mustang, and did not register or insure it for "on road use", how would they know it was now a race car, or sitting out in the yard under a tree, or taken apart and scrapped? I wonder if this is supposed to affect only new cars, or any car, regardless of age. It could certainly affect the COPO, Cobra Jet, and Drag Pack MoPars if it applied to new cars, but then again, they are not titled for street use anyhow. If somebody takes their brand new Mustang, Camaro, or for that matter, a Prius, to the local drag strip for a Street Legal night, or weekend bracket race, does the act of using a bottle of shoe polish to put a number on the window constitute "converting a street car into a race car?"
