U.S. Senators Richard Burr (R-NC) and Joe Manchin (D-WV), along with 24 original cosponsors, reintroduced S. 2602, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2019 (RPM Act). This bipartisan bill protects Americans’ right to convert street vehicles into dedicated racecars and the motorsports parts industry’s right to sell products that enable racers to compete.  

The RPM Act confirms that transforming motor vehicles into racecars used exclusively for competition does not violate the Clean Air Act. This American tradition was unquestioned for nearly 50 years until 2015 when the EPA took the position that converted street vehicles that compete on the track must remain emissions-compliant, even though they are not driven on public streets or highways. The EPA also maintains that the equipment used to transform a street vehicle into a racecar is prohibited.

“SEMA looks forward to working with Congress to enact the RPM Act and make permanent the Clean Air Act’s original intention that race vehicle conversions are legal,” said Kersting. “We thank Senators Burr and Manchin for reintroducing a bill that will protect businesses that produce, install and sell the parts that enable racers to compete."

The RPM Act cleared several major legislative hurdles in the previous congress, including passage by the U.S. House Energy and Commerce (E&C) Committee. The bill also received hearings in both the House and Senate, which underscored the importance of motorsports as a great American pastime and economic stimulus in communities across the country. Lawmakers were able to find a pathway to consensus on the language of the bill last session, positioning it to become law in the 2019–2020 congress.

“American racing runs on traditions,” said Senator Burr. “For more than 50 years, motorsports enthusiasts have purchased cars and modified them to race, off of public roads. However, this tradition was threatened when the Obama EPA attempted to make these modifications illegal. This legislation upholds Congress’ intent of the Clean Air Act and protects motorsports, for professionals and amateurs alike, for years to come. I’m proud to work with my colleagues on this bipartisan legislation, and I look forward to seeing it move through the Senate.”

Motorsports competition involves tens of thousands of participants and vehicle owners each year, both amateur and professional. Retail sales of racing products make up a nearly $2 billion market annually. A majority of the estimated 1,300 racetracks operating across the United States, including oval, road, dirt and off-road tracks, feature converted race vehicles that the EPA now considers to be illegal.

“A big part of the fun of motorsports is the tradition of modifying regular cars into racecars,” said Senator Manchin. “This legislation upholds amendments to the Clean Air Act that exempt modified vehicles and racecars from certain environmental regulations, protecting motorsports for years to come. I am proud to be a part of this bipartisan bill and look forward to the boost it will give to motorsports.”

It is important that members of Congress hear from the racing and automotive enthusiast communities about the importance of passing the RPM Act into law during this session of Congress. To write a letter to your U.S. Senators, visit www.sema.org/rpm.

Texas Racing Legend Billy Meyer to be Inducted Into International Drag Racing Hall of Fame

Among the 2020 inductees into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame announced last week by Don Garlits and the Hall of Fame selection committee is Texas Funny Car driver and racetrack developer Billy Meyer who, in his career on the NHRA pro tour, appeared in 22 final rounds, hoisted the trophy 12 times and his IHRA career appeared in 13 final rounds and won eight trophies. Meyer will share the podium at the March induction ceremonies in Gainesville, Florida, with fellow legends Lee Beard, Roy Hill, Larry Minor and Don Enriquez. Meyer’s legacy is defined as a driver, a drag-strip innovator and one-time sanctioning body owner and president. The Texas native began his racing career at the age of nine in go-karts before switching to drag racing as a teenager.  He remains the youngest person to earn a Funny Car license at the age of 16. Still in his teens, he left home in 1972 six weeks after high-school graduation to pursue a full-time racing career, and that fall won the sport’s most prestigious independent Funny Car race—the 1972 Manufacturers Funny Car Championship at Orange County International Raceway in Irvine, California.

Two years later, after winning at Bristol, he dominated at Indianapolis, where he claimed the No. 1 qualifying position at the U.S. Nationals and had the quickest time in every round leading up to the final, where his Mustang inexplicably slowed from a quarter-mile best of 6.197 seconds, quick time of the event, to 6.467 in a loss to the most dominant Funny Car racer of that era. He finally won his first NHRA race three years later after a two-year hiatus to pursue the land-speed record at age 23, when he beat Jim Dunn in the final round of the 1977 Fall Nationals at Seattle. He won the last tour event in which he competed, beating Ed McCulloch at the 1987 Winston Finals at Pomona, California, before retiring at 33 to spend more time with family and diverse business interests.

In celebration of the partnership, DEI is opening the program to the entire membership with a promotional discount code. Any SCCA member can use the coupon code “FUNWITHCARS” during checkout on DEI’s website to receive 15% off their order total.
