Legislators across the country are supporting the Congressional bill that will save racing, but many elected officials have yet to sign on as co-sponsors. Action is needed.
Since introduction in March, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports (RPM) Act has received support from dozens of legislators who have signed on as co-sponsors. As the racing industry sits in limbo, the Congressional bill is critical to providing the industry with certainty. The RPM Act will allow emissions-certified street vehicles to continue to be converted for competition use, both now and in the future.
