This is how it starts, small incremental steps. Just slowly chip away at things and eventually they will have what they want. Think of all of the racers out there who use for street cars for their racecars. How many drag racers or road racers will this affect? It is a stretch but it could be argued that this would affect street stock classes. Just chip away at it until that environmentally dirty sport is gone. Next up hot rodding industry. When have we ever known any of these agencies ever been known to be reasonable? EPA is on the verge of destroying the coal industry.
Reminds me the story of boiling frogs. Take a nice happy frog and put him in a nice pot of water. He rests comfortably, content where he is at. Then the heat is turned on. Life continues to be good. The heat is gradually turned up but no reason for concern. Before he knows it, the water is boiling and it is too late to get out.
