The EPA...

[kidrock]

I'm all for the epa regulating companies in this country to keep us safe but, this would be a far reach for them in my opinion.

I will be calling my congressman and telling them I'm against this.

I agree with most of what you said Gary, but the only way we have a chance of winning is through our elected officials.

And people think Social Media is the end of Dirt Track racing. LOL It might actually be the thing that saves it if this goes any further.

The thing you hate may be the thing that saves you..ITs time too start BY VOTING for the people that will back you not them...IF a DEM get in the white house, we all will lose a lot of RIGHTS..There is a bill right now on the floor too pull the EPA back too a enforcement not someone that can regulate VOTE R or its all over.....

We had a big debate on this forum about what electing someone like Obama would do to this sport. NO NO< many said. Many laughed in fact. My question is, who is laughing now? The EPA does is what the White House Says.

I really don't think they car about your dirt modified, stock car or late model. They are mostly talking about 3/4 , 1 ton, and semi trucks. and that they don't want someone removing the emission control device on a "certified vehicle" just for a competition. IMO They are just making it easier for them to regulate someone buying a Chevy Corvette and buying parts "for competition" and driving the car on the road illegally.

That is the justification they would give. Yes. And it is probably the "good intentions" that are involved.

Care to expand on this? I'm not very up to date on how all of this political terminology works.

Thanks,

I don't believe a "bill" such as this would never pass in the House. Large gov. agencies have power to write their on regulations, many of which are never enforced. An example would be the Soc. Sec. administration... many regs not enforced or I guess its better to say "followed." I think the passing of a Bill such as this would definitely be a disaster for it would be the law of the land then.

The head administrator of the EPA answers directly to the POTUS. The head administrator of the EPA is appointed by the POTUS. Regulations enacted by the EPA are very much akin to a presidential executive order. Even if the regulations are challenged all the way to the SCOTUS there is less than a 50-50 chance for the court to do what is constitutionally correct.

Let's hope for a change in philosophy as a result of the election of 2016. If not this kind of overreach will continue. However, I fear that there may be too much momentum to quell the advancement of governmental over-regulation. The folks pushing for the kind of regulation posted in the OP are very well organized and they have MONEY behind them.

Obama is coming after auto racing. He is obsessed with man made global warming. He is insane with it. World leaders nod their head when he speaks, and then most of them are laughing about it. Especially the ones he thinks are cooperating. It is nothing but a money making scheme. See Al Gore
