The Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2021 (RPM Act) clarifies EPA emissions language to protect the right to convert street vehicles into dedicated racecars and the motorsports industry’s ability to sell products that enable racers to compete.
WASHINGTON For the fourth time in five years, members of the U.S. House of Representatives have introduced legislation to clarify emission standards for vehicles converted into race cars.
U.S. Reps. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., and Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., recently introduced H.R. 3281, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act of 2021 (RPM Act). The bipartisan bill includes 48 sponsors.
Annual SEMA Show Back on for 2021
An expanded SEMA aftermarket show with Elon Musk’s Boring Tunnel underneath scheduled to run Nov. 2-5 in Las Vegas. SEMA
The 2020 SEMA show was canceled just three months before it was set to take place in early November.
This year, the Las Vegas Convention Center has expanded the West Hall, to allow for more exhibitors as well as wider aisles.
Between now and November there are 23 major conventions scheduled at the LVCC, something SEMA organizers will be keeping an eye on.
The Specialty Equipment Market Association, aka SEMA, will hold its gala extravaganza for the automotive aftermarket Nov. 2-5 this year, after (finally) cancelling last year’s show because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And while SEMA kept saying right up until three months before showtime last year that it would be able to hold a safe event despite the raging pandemic, this year they really mean it. It’ll be Safety First in 2021.
