Number one Snopes in my opinion is biased. And basically Snopes reiterated most parts are true.Fact checking time - this is old, partly true, partly not. See https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/epa-seeks-ban-racecar-conversions/
It is the EPAs desire, and they want it written into the legislation. They claim they will not enforce that particular provision, but that doesn't mean that the next EPA regulator will be so lax. If the next official wants to enforce, he/she will now have the backing of law to do so.Fact checking time - this is old, partly true, partly not.

Although your article claims that it is “false” that the EPA is banning road-to-race car conversions, the language that the EPA is adding to the regulations (below) literally makes it illegal to make any changes to the “emission control devices” of a “certified motor vehicle” (i.e., any vehicle that was originally sold as complying with emissions standards for street use) even if the vehicle is being converted for racing and will never again be used on public roads. The EPA considers “emission control devices” to include the engine, the computer that runs the engine, the intake and the exhaust, so any changes to these components would be prohibited. The fact that the EPA says that they don’t plan on enforcing it does not change the fact that they are adding it to the regulations. SEMA also disagrees with the EPA’s position that this was already the law because the Clean Air Act, as written and amended by Congress, was never intended to extend to racing vehicles.
“Certified motor vehicles and motor vehicle engines and their emission control devices must remain in their certified configuration even if they are used solely for competition or if they become nonroad vehicles or engines.” 80 Fed. Reg. 40138, 40565 (July 13, 2015).
I wish this would happen.Big oil needs to pick a target, such as the entire state of California, and decide to no longer supply them with gasoline - period. Go scortched earth and watch this silliness collapse in utter chaos. This is what they want so I say beat them to the punch and deliver the future, right now.
I’m ready!Mad Max...
I think that if you want to mod your cars do it soon as the Government will step in at some point halting any ECM calibration changes.
