Summitracing informed me that the government is tryin to propose a plan to junk all 60's, 70's, and 80's sports cars. HEre is the email they sent me.

Dear Summit Racing customer,

Your hobby is in danger! Proposed U.S. government legislation, U.S.

Senate Bill S.1766, would allocate federal funds for state scrappage programs

for vehicles more than 15 years old. In the process, it could threaten the

very existence of our hobby by:


*Destroying 1960s and 70s era musclecars


*Scrapping 1980s performance vehicles like Mustangs, Camaros, and Corvettes


*Eliminating many non-performance vehicles which provide an invaluable parts

And do you know the likily hood of this happening? This has been tried for the past 20 years. The legislation NEVER PASSES. And yes I still call and write to *itch at the person in washington.

 

Yeah , I got that letter also , and just got done reading about it to in one of my mags They must have alot to do if they are worried about our metal ....Shouldn't they be worried about reducing crime ? ..Im mean for crying out loud , a bank that is 5 miles from my house got robbed by a guy on a bicycle yesterday . ..And a Cracker Barrel convience store was robbed 4 times in the same month before the robber was caught !!! ....this is some

 

C'mon guys dont you know are government knows whats best for us

All government sux kill em all

 

NO
What it is about is
BIG OIL COMPANIES & ENRON'S
TRYING TO GET FREE "CREDITS" SO
they do not have to pay big dollars to "reduce" their pollutants, from their "smoke stacks".
They get "free credits" by destroying old cars in a wrecking yard, "polluting the air"
(Don't ask how a "dead" car, in a wrecking yard, not running pollutes . That's the lobbiest job - MORE )
It's a back door way to make us "Pay" more in the long run and get older polluting vehicles off the street.
NOW you can B!TCH, but, alot already done has been to effectivly reduce ROAD DRIVEN POLLUTANTS.
Meaning: old cars eventually die, motors wear out.
They're just trying to get all the "already dead ones" to count, also, now.
Yes, you/we should be concerned.

 

dont worry....if and thats a big if..it gets passed this is what happens.....lets say joe blow is cruising in his 78 pinto..rusted,no cat..burning 2 qts of oil a day.....he could get "pulled over"and they would test his emmisons...he ahs like 90 days to comply..that would mean major tune up ect yu get the idea...
or he has the choice to"junk "the vehicle and the goverment will pay him a grand....First off it wont get voted in....not going to happen make my words....2nd..lets say it did work that way....Joe not wanting to scrap his trusty pinto would then sell it to his cousin bubba..and transfer the title..back n forth ect ect.,..Ive seen **** like this in england on a trial basis and it bombed bad..to many loopholes...I remember this being brought up before..........by the way...what a great way for summit to get everyone pumped up and say ..geez what nice guys over there at summit they really care....
