On a couple of recent occasions, the EPA has tried to get the wording changed to include the conversion of VIN numbered cars for racing in their policing. This would obviously be a disaster for us!

The RPM puts it in clear language that VIN numbered cars modified for racing are exempt.

The street car thing is a different subject. I'm not sure that we could win that battle. Right now they are going after manufacturers and not end users. I have heard of some States blocking vehicle sales due to "illegal modifications".

Sadly this may all be a losing battle with pr like this':
