EPA looking at stopping race car builds

[Perfectlap]

Sounds like some used Porsche replacement engines and hard tops are about to get a whole lot cheaper.

Interesting where the Detroit lobby will fall on this. I'm going to take a guess and say that a big part of the road cars that are raced are domestics. The lobbyists for the autos then call some Democrat Senators and ranking house members and remind them how much their domestic parts suppliers profit from guys who consume a lot of consumables and how many jobs and tax revenue would be lost if these parts suppliers are hurt. Race shops that do the conversions are spread all over, blue and red states so their politicians jump in the fray as well. Especially in states where there is a lot of track racing....hint Florida (big swing state prize). Indeed with a big election on the calendar this year where the mid-west will also be crucial, all of the sudden favor-swapping comes into play and the EPA mysteriously changes course and in favor of new taxes on racing activities. Which is what the gubimint is actually after, more money from those who can afford to go racing. But in an election year even settling on new taxes vs. outright banning of racing conversions will be a tough sell. EPA can do what it wants but not without a cost and the party in charge of the EPA will remind them that all the marbles are on the line this year.

Also, when you look back 30 years from now, I think this may mark the beginning of electric vehicle racing. So ask yourself who would profit from those conversions.
Start buying stock in those companies. What is done on the race track can often carry over to road, provided that the cost to manufacture electric motors comes down,
which I see no reason why it wouldn't since its a technology that becomes cheaper over time like any other tech.
