No More Race Car Conversions???

[Keith Tedford]

The EPA has SEMA cranked up with this one. A lot of businesses will be worried too. Here in Canada, it has never been legal to remove emissions equipment from a street car at least.

just wait till kathleen wynne sees that. the douchebag is already on the warpath with the new safety inspection regulations. after july 1 buying or selling a used car in ontario will be a nightmare.

 

[Keith Tedford]

Anyone thinking of selling a vehicle would be advised to do it before July 1. As far as pollution goes, you would think that what Canada produces makes a difference. We are roughly half of one percent of the world population. What we do will make absolutely no difference what so ever in the grand scheme of things. With all the industry shutting down and moving away, that alone is making more difference than anything that we are doing.

While I agree that Canada as a whole has as close to ZERO effect on world pollution, the .govs use climate change, and carbon as a tax grab, and lead the sheople to believe we are doomed if we don't change now.

The reality is, Canada as a nation could go completely off the grid, to absolutely zero carbon and methane emissions and nothing would change one single bit in the atmosphere. Sadly, the idea has been bought by the newest generation of entitled brats, who spew hate speech when you use logic to disagree, and the .govs are laughing as they lined corporate coffers' pockets with environmental tax monies while doing absolutely nothing for the environment.(in actuality, they are doing more harm than good through "green" projects when you look into it).

Every time I ask those who support big government taxes on emissions, to show me a single example of any tax that has truly helped the environment, I never get a response...

Wynne is already well ahead guys, remember this bill that was threatened last year:

Kathleen Wynne: Stop Ontario bill to make car parts essentially "OEM or illegal"

I've not read the EPA proposal but to me it doesn't sound like it would affect the majority of modified cars, simply it states converting road cars to race cars which is a very specific designation. Admittedly this may kill SCAA competitions and the like but the proof is in the pudding or the wording whatever that may be.

There is a caveat in that that reads words to the effect of 'or otherwise meets minimum standards of oem". Having said that, however, THANK GOD FOR BOLT ON!
