Dear Mr. #####:

Thank you for taking the time to contact me regarding the Environmental Protection Agency's regulation of emissions from converted racecars. I appreciate hearing from you on this issue.

Senator Richard Burr of North Carolina introduced S. 2602, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act, in the U.S. Senate on October 16, 2019. I am a cosponsor of this legislation.

S. 2602 would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating emission controls on vehicles used solely for competition. This legislation was under review by the Committee on Environment and Public Works when the Senate concluded legislative action for the 116th Congress. This bill did not come before the full Senate for consideration. In order for this legislation to be considered by the full Senate, it must be reintroduced in the 117th Congress, which began on January 3, 2021. Please be assured that should this legislation come before the full Senate, I will keep your views in mind.

I understand that some Pennsylvanians have concerns that this legislation could affect the ability of the EPA to enforce against manufacturers of defeat devices designed to override vehicle pollution controls. I cosponsored this legislation with the understanding that it was narrowly focused and applied solely to the amateur racing industry. I am working with my fellow Senators to modify this legislation so that the EPA retains the authority to ensure these devices are not used on standard street vehicles. Please be assured that I am following this issue closely and will keep your views in mind should the Senate consider this legislation.

Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future about this or any other matter of importance to you.

For more information on this or other issues, I encourage you to visit my web site, http://casey.senate.gov. I invite you to use this online office as a comprehensive resource to stay up-to-date on my work in Washington, request assistance from my office or share with me your thoughts on the issues that matter most to you and to Pennsylvania.

Sincerely,

Bob Casey

United States Senator
Got the same message this morning.

Yep, these are the same azzholes that fined somebody for collecting rainwater off his roof.

Would boosting your car with an aftermarket SC or turbo kit run afoul of this initiative/legislation/rule whatever TF it is?

Probably. Under this rule, the EPA would ban all turbo/SC kits and anything that would alter the vehicle emissions.

If you go by the "letter of the law" any engine modification to air / fuel / spark has always been illegal, unless you have done the testing/approval ($$$) to get an "Executive Order" EO#.

Like this one for a 370z Stillen Cold Air Intake System:
https://ww3.arb.ca.gov/msprog/afterm...o/d-436-21.pdf

If the state doesn't have an emission inspection/test, only you would know.

I've been aware of that for a while.

The real sticking point is getting approval.

It's completely possible for the right kind of setup to pass dyno-roller emissions testings no problem. They could just have a program setup with a standardized test to have a car dyno-roller emission tested after being tuned/modified to confirm compliance. No need for all of the hoops and paperwork.

This reeks of the same over-reach as the vehicle importing laws regarding 25 year old imports.
The Feds know that you can build a tuned car that will still meet emissions standards, and the Feds know that many of the JDM/EDM cars are the exact same cars we get here. But they try to throw cover on us and say that they "haven't been tested for compliance" as if that even matters. Then they hop on a private jet and fly around somehow on a $160K/yr "salary" polluting 1,000x more than their entire represented state's tuned-car population.

It's totally ridiculous, especially at the twilight of ICE cars.

I used to modify OBD1 cars back in "the day" when all emissions tests (in my area) were done on dyno-rollers. Those cars always passed (1992 Integra with a B20 swap and turbo kit passed no prob).

They are just looking for ways to justify the cost of the ever-expanding bureaucracy.

Soon, we'll have Feds standing next to our toilets to ensure we don't use too much toilet paper.

In some countries in public toilets. You buy toilet paper by the sheet. One square may cost you a nickel or more. Hope you never get the chits there.
