What's New List Serve Post Display

You received this message because you are signed up for a
California Air Resources Board (CARB) mobile source list serve
and may be interested in activities pertaining to Racing
Vehicles.  

The California Air Resources Board (CARB) invites you to
participate in a public workshop to discuss concepts for a
regulatory revision intended to clarify California’s racing
vehicle definition.  Pursuant to California law, racing vehicles,
defined as competition vehicles not used on public highways, are
exempt from emissions control requirements (Health & Safety Code
§§ 39048 and 43001).  What counts as a racing or competition
vehicle is unclear, which leads to misuse of the racing vehicle
exemption.  Evidence shows racing vehicles and certified vehicles
modified with racing aftermarket parts are often used for
non-racing and non-competition purposes.  This undermines CARB’s
emissions certification programs designed to provide emissions
reductions to meet air quality standards and protect public
health, and also creates an unfair business environment for
compliant vehicle, engine, and parts manufacturers.

CARB is initiating a public process to work with manufacturers,
wholesalers, retailers, and consumers in an effort to clarify
California’s racing vehicle definition.  All parties utilizing
this exemption, which applies to categories including, but not
limited to, on- and off-road vehicles and engines, aftermarket
parts, and fuels are encouraged to attend.

Workshops will be held in the two locations indicated below. 
Staff will share the same presentation at both workshop locations
and answer questions.
