\"SEMA_SAN-600x234\"<\/p>\n

The EPA’s current proposal regulating vehicle emissions standards has raised quite the outcry amongst the auto racing industry, including a petition sponsored by SEMA and a bill introduced by several state representatives who have interpreted language within the resolution as being potentially damaging to the racing industry.<\/p>\n

The standards, designed to further limit greenhouse gas emissions from medium and heavy-duty engines also included vehicles modified for racing, and the objections raised by the industry were over the negative effect this would have on tracks and manufacturers.<\/p>\n

In response, the EPA clarified on Friday, April 15, that the language was never intended to impact purpose-built race cars, and was aimed at illegally modified street cars. \u00a0As part of that acknowledgement, the confusing language has been removed from the proposal.<\/p>\n

SEMA, and others in the industry, have applauded the EPA’s choice to drop that particular language. However, they still view the EPA as over-reaching when it comes to the racing industry, and remain in support of the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act.<\/p>\n
