Racing Community Makes Its Voice Heard, But More To Do
Image

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.
