The RPM Act would keep in place an old tradition in auto sports
The bipartisan RPM Act protects the right to convert an automobile or motorcycle into a race car used exclusively at the track.
Modifying a vehicle into a race car is an integral part of America’s automotive heritage. Many types of racing, including NASCAR, were founded on the premise that street vehicles, including motorcycles, can be converted into dedicated race vehicles.
Racing events are an economic driver for many communities and a source of affordable family-friendly entertainment for millions.
Congress never intended for the Clean Air Act (CAA) to apply to motor vehicles modified for competition use only. However, the EPA maintains that CAA requires converted vehicles driven exclusively on the track to remain emissions-compliant.
The RPM Act clarifies that transforming motor vehicles into race cars used exclusively for competition does not violate the CAA.
Aries (March 21-April 19). Uncertainties and risks are inevitable parts of life. You’re not one to tempt fate, nor would you run and hide instead of seizing the chance at an experience of the sort of wholesome pleasures that make your heart so vibrantly alive.
Taurus (April 20-May 20). Memory is subjective and unreliable. Even people raised in the same house can have vastly different memories of what happened within those walls.
Gemini (May 21-June 21). Support can come in many forms. Today, the kind that’s called for is hands-off. You believe in someone and show it by stepping back to allow them to handle things in their own way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day brings a storm of possibilities and potentials. You’ll know when an idea is good enough to act on because a waiting list will quickly assemble behind it. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It doesn’t take a fancy vocabulary or deft phrasing to communicate skillfully. You’ve the tools to say what’s on your mind in a dozen different ways, but you choose to act it out instead – brilliant! You’ll earn trust.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You tune in to other people’s preferences because you find the differences in people fascinating.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Being accountable to certain authorities, your life got easier and better when you learned to see things the way they did. Today’s birthday (March 8).
