Got this from my Dem Representative today. An auto-reply from one Rep Senator and nothing from the other Rep Senator. Good news, looks like...

January 26, 2017

Dear Mr. Krause,

Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 4715, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act, or RPM Act. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with me on this important topic.

In July, 2015 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed a rule on medium- and heavy-duty engines and vehicles that would have prevented the modifying of motor vehicles used for racing. In response to comments submitted by the public during the public comment period for the rule, the EPA decided to eliminate the proposed language on racing vehicles from the final rule. As a result, legislation is no longer needed. Racing is an important part of North Carolina's history, culture, and tourism economy. This decision by EPA will enable our state to continue its tradition.

Again, thank you for contacting me. If I may be of further assistance to you in the future, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

Very Truly Yours,

Done, though I thought EPA previously issued a clarification that race cars built from street cars would NOT be affected. Oh well, doesn't hurt to be sure.
