EPA to ban street cars from the track? WTF??

[Jsdirt]

Don't know how much truth there is to this, but, given this administration's seeming hatred of anything concerning American tradition, this wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 

This strikes me as an end-round around the law - modus operandi of this administration. I figure if they ban street cars from the race track, then they can decimate the automotive performance aftermarket. Must be their base crying about getting coal-rolled by teenage kids in diesel trucks.

 

Goes along their same line of thinking with guns - they use the EPA to close the last operating lead smelter in the country to drive the cost of ammo up, impose unreasonable requirements and costs to get an LTC (more of a state issue, but ...),super-high taxes on ammo, mandatory electronics on guns, etc., etc., ...

 

This reeks of the same stench, if it's indeed true. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if it is ....

There appears to be no end in sight regarding government wanting to regulate anything and everything.
