So what is your point Stanley? 4 years wasn't enough time to drain the swamp, Trump needed 4 more. These government agency's are full of tree hugging commies.

Randy,
My point was that after 14 month I have no heard of any NHRA Stock or Super Stock racer having a problem because of this. Have you?

Stan,

No not yet but doesn't mean it isn't on the radar. I just built a new car and hope to be able to race it.

Yes this noise has been around for some time, but with chinee joe's crowd in various agencies, better pay attention. For example look at what happened to the class 8 glider industry. Gee, imagine being able buy a new truck that runs better, and you can actually work on it.

Many have received responses from Democrats regarding the RPM Act in which they express basically a disdain for hot rodders and racer's. Their push is to enact their Green Act policies. They could care less for hot rodders, racing and racer's.

On the other hand, I have received responses from AZ Republicans supporting our sport and hobby; the Democrats have been silent on the subject. An exception was a very nice response from AZ Kristen Synema, an independent that leans with liberals/democrats. In her response she stated that although she supports a clean environment, having lived in Arizona and having first hand knowledge of how important hot rodding and racing is for the state of Arizona, that she will support an exception for those that modify cars for racing and as a hobby.
