NASCAR that you watch on Sunday is a very small portion of NASCAR. This type of ruling would kill there grass roots effort where the stars of Sunday get their starts. Same would hold true for NHRA. The majority of the competitors in both sanctioning bodies are using modified production cars. Go to your local track. You will see what i mean.

This is a big group of people as it would definitely impact those grass roots series/feeder series but all of the others as well like LeMons, American Endurance Racing, ChumpCar and the list could go on and on. This is a very bold attempt at shutting down a huge industry and anyone who has a slight interest in racing or cars in general should be taking it seriously.

I assumed they were refering to the 3 major series in NASCAR having to use stock cars. And that is what I was replying too.

Understood.

Here are some scenarios. Cutouts are gone for our cars. No turning it into a track only car and getting rid of the cats.

It would be a sad day. They claim they are clarifying an existing regulation and that requires no Congressional approval.

Say “No” to EPA’s Threat to Motorsports : SEMA Opposes Regulation Prohibiting Conversion of Vehicles into Racecars

Please sign the White House Petition asking the EPA to withdraw its proposal. We need 100,000 signatures in 30 days, so don’t delay! Add your voice now and forward to your friends. Stop the EPA from making racecars illegal!
SEMA has issued a press release informing the public that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is aiming to make it illegal to convert automobiles originally designed for on-road use into racecars, even though such conversions have been done for decades. Under the EPA’s proposed rule, it would also be illegal to sell any performance-related products for those cars. The EPA’s proposal would have a devastating impact on motorsports since many types of racing rely on production vehicles that have been modified for use strictly at the track.

SEMA is working with all stakeholder groups to oppose the regulation through the administrative process and will seek congressional support and judicial intervention as necessary.

Okay sorry about that I wasn't aware of that. Do you mind posting the link?

Signed!

Petitions don't do much... if you want your voice to be heard on the issue the better way to go about it is to comment on the rule itself. You can find out how here.
