I have a feeling this is just part of a larger effort on expansion of post sales testing of cars after the whole VW thing. Probably there is a lot of liability to clarify, not that these documents are a mess any way. Who knows with the EPA anyway. The EPA testing center here has a hardened gate with those giant wedge gates to prevent people from driving a car bomb into the facility, it's really bizarre.

The EPA center is for OEMs. We don't have emissions testing either, but I guess because Michigan. We have a ban on speed cameras and red light cameras too. I think this thing is blown out of proportion, because of SEMA. I'm sure there are good companies who are members of SEMA but there's also bullshit like Fuel Doctor and cheap lovely ECU reflashers guaranteed to grenade your engine, and it will be hard to shed tears if those kinds of companies get shut down. They can get hosed. Considering there are many 400hp+ passenger cars that meet emissions, I don't see the need to remove emissions controls for tracking cars. For sure there are corner cases like LeMons and transiting rally cars that are just in poor condition but I doubt they'll get banned.

I wasn't sure if they had only a clutch or not, makes sense since 6000 HP would just fuse everything in the drivetrain together or shred it to pieces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_7wpe7aeKc Here they knock the clutch pack off with a hammer and slide all the new plates on between runs.
