RPM Act Reintroduced for 2021

BREAKING NEWS: RPM Act Reintroduced for 2021—Thank You!


Our voices have been heard! After receiving more than one million letters from enthusiasts like you, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act (RPM Act) has been reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2021-2022 session of Congress!

Thank you for previously contacting your lawmakers about the RPM Act! With the effort’s current momentum, we need your voice once again now that the bill has officially returned for consideration in 2021. Now is not the time to take our feet off the gas. Remind your U.S. Representative to do their part to finally save racing from government threat by supporting and passing the RPM Act into law this year.

The RPM Act must be enacted into law to guarantee your right to modify street cars, trucks, and motorcycles into dedicated race vehicles, and ensure that industry can offer parts that enable racers to compete.

Can someone explain what this is trying to fix or allow that is currently broken or not allowed?

Like what kind of mods are currently legal that wouldn't be legal if the law passed? I clicked the link, but it provides no real info or even a link to info.

Best explanation I've seen is below:

The RPM Act reverses the EPA’s interpretation that the Clean Air Act prohibits a motor vehicle designed for street use—including a car, truck, or motorcycle—to be converted into a dedicated racecar. This American tradition was unquestioned from 1970 until 2015 when the EPA took the position that converted vehicles must remain emissions-compliant, even though they are no longer driven on public streets or highways.

Thanks, that explains a lot. I figure I couldn't be the only one who didn't know about it, so it's good for an explanation to be posted once rather than everyone have to each go searching.

To my understanding it would limit state and local authorities from cracking down on anything from performance parts, to lights, and even sound. My home track Kil-Kare Speedway and Dragway has been dealing with sound ordinances from nearby Xeina Ohio for years. At one point that had to shut down at 10 pm because of the noise. I suspect most of the complaints were from wealthy suburbanites who moved out of the city into new developments closer to the track. I remember as a kid being out there till well after midnight. Now its all over pretty quick.

Just some food for thought.

My guess, the current political make up of the House will not allow this Act to pass. There is no way they will "protect" people's rights to thwart the EPA. Even if it gets through Congress, there's no way Biden is signing it.

Nevertheless, I signed it. Good luck!
