They won't stop with hobby race cars IMO.

I thought kids of today weren’t interested in cars like we were in the past. Or is this an old-guy hobby now?

Both of your statements are at least partially true. There are fewer kids who are into street machines/rodding/car building. I’m going to a season opener swap meet this weekend and I know that there will be waay more gray hair than there was last year. Some of us do what we can to encourage kids but you know what they say about leading a horse to water...

They are eventually going after anyone who modifies their car for better performance. Things like installing a performance intake or exhaust. Having the ECU chipped to provide more power.
They won’t be happy until we’re all riding trains and bicycles to work.

Not to mention all the lead that gets melted into the bottom of the cars for weight.

"The EPA is seeking to ban the freedom of individuals within the USA to convert street cars into race cars." These leftist bastards are really out to drive the nail in the coffin of traditional American culture.

Yea, right, sure.
All I know is, when I was doing Pinewood Derby, We’d invite the whole pack to my house, drill holes, melt lead and get the cars properly weighed in.

Should read OBAMA’S EPA is out of control. I heard they banned heating with wood stoves.

My boy and I also had fun with the Pinewood derbies years ago.
Lots of thought and imagination going into those cars.
Lots of "Dad" cars too :-)

My son’s college physics class had a Pinewood Derby a few weeks ago as a class assignment. We slapped together a car and put an old set of wheels that we had polished the axles and sanded the wheels.
He won.
