koh-no-24-news

Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, joined seven other attorneys general in a letter to the EPA, urging the agency to remove language from a proposed rule that creates regulations for competitive racing vehicles, not driven on public streets. EPA’s new regulations would now apply to activities such as National Hot Rod Association racing, drag racing, autocross and Le Mans Series racing, and would outlaw many of the products made, sold and installed by manufacturers, retailers and technicians in Nevada. The AG notes Sparks is home to one of the three stores of the world’s largest retailer of performance racing parts, and in 2014, consumers spent a total of $36 billion nationwide on automotive specialty equipment parts and accessories.
