TURN 14 DISTRIBUTION LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN IN SUPPORT OF THE RACING ENTHUSIASTS
AND SUPPLIER COALITION TO PROTECT OUR RACECARS FROM EPA OVEREACH

Horsham, PA (April 26, 2022) — Turn 14 Distribution, the industry leader in performance
parts distribution, has launched a marketing campaign to support the Racing Enthusiasts
and Supplier Coalition (RESC), of which the company's CEO Jon Pulli is co-chair, as the
coalition brings a petition against the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding
the conversion of streetcars to dedicated racecars.
RESC's petition against the U.S. EPA is to determine if the EPA has the authority to prohibit
any individual from disabling, removing, or rendering inoperative emission controls on an
EPA-certified motor vehicle that is being or has been converted to be used solely for
purposes of competition and is or will no longer be used on public roads. If granted the
authority, this interpretation would render most racecars in the U.S. illegal, making criminals
of the vehicle owners, shops, manufacturers, and distributors who use, install, or sell related
products. The implications of the current ambiguity in the Clean Air Act is detrimental to the
foundation of the aftermarket automotive industry, and eliminates any prospects for
amateur racers to enter motorsports affordably.
"The future of amateur racing is at risk. RESC was founded to give voice to the multitude of
potentially affected participants, enthusiasts, and businesses. It's critical that we act now to
protect our sport and one of America's oldest and greatest pastimes," said Greg Neuwirth,
co-chair of RESC.
RESC and its supporters are comprised of passionate enthusiasts, small business owners,
and thousands of employees and their families that rely on automotive racing for their
livelihoods. To learn more about RESC and how you can help support its efforts to protect
our nation's racecars, please visit the following GoFundMe page.

HELP PROTECT RACECARS by challenging in Federal Court the U.S. Environment… Jon Pulli needs your support for Protect Your Right to Convert Cars into Racecars

This is a problem that can be solved if we can get the right people to talk and work together.

True race cars that only ever see track time make up such a small number of vehicles, the emissions have a negligible effect on overall air quality. Race cars don't need to be emissions exempt either. We can make them reduced emissions. A limit needs to be found and set.

Amatuer car racing was born from the availabilty of production cars. Modifying your car is about as American as it gets. The EPA and even State Government is going to prevent us from touching the engine in even the simplest ways.
Here in Colorado, our new emissions laws require checking the ECU programming against a database. If the programming doesn't match, you fail emissions. This is regardless of what the programming changes are for. Want to change the temperature that your electric cooling fan turns on at because you tow? Now you fail emissions.

In the aftermarket world, we have the ability to make a 2000+ Horsepower engine pass the current emissions standards. But this doesn't matter if they won't even test the vehicle because of a programming mismatch.

We don't need emissions exemption. We need a pathway to pass emissions with modified vehicles.
There has to be an understanding that finding a way to pass emissions will lead to overall better air quality as it will prevent the current disaster of a situation were cars are returned to stock to pass, then immediately re-modified with no emissions equipment at all.
