Not this crap again.

It wont stop till they succeed!!
I agree. It's been tried before and they'll try again. What they don't realize, is how very small race and special interest vehicles are in the big picture. For example: One loaded semi burns more fuel in a week than a weekend warrior can burn in ten years.

I completely agree with you oh, but they did do a pretty good number on the diesel tuning aspect of things! As long as we keep fighting back, we can keep them out of our fun little Hobby
Participation won't be a problem! Every racer and racetrack in North America will be all over it like stink on a monkey.

My worry isn't race cars, it's cars like ours with non stock engines. Everybody keeps saying, "Oh, they can't touch them because they are exempt". Well, if they make the rules, they can pretty much do what they want, when they want, and that includes changing the rules!
Where I think they would get us is on later model engines with all the smog junk taken off.
I don’t know of any State laws like that here yet. We don’t have inspections so it wouldn’t be noticed anyway. I think there are 3 cities that do emissions tests and you have to pass to get your tag, but nothing in the rest of the state.
I'm surprised you didn't mention BC's defunct AirCare program, zz.

I think the problem is the enduring perception of the uneducated masses that hot rodders are evil spawn depicted in old B movies, and to this day are seen as rule breakers, scofflaws, and a general menace to society and the environment.
Politically driven rules to control modifying autos are done to score votes, regardless of the actual impact of the supposed legislation. It doesn't matter if they are saving the planet, as long as the voters believe the BS, and vote them back in, modified cars and race cars have a high profile and make an easy target for political opportunists.
Just my 2 cents worth...
