to crank down and make those big Ds not belch black smoke into the air, and even as a car enthusiast I think all vehicles including antiques and old cars should go through emissions if they want to travel on public roads.

While not a public road, you dont have a cat on your racecar - and probably put more miles a year on it than most guys with antiques - do you think racecars should have functioning cats?

well you're pretty much missing the point.

maybe i put more miles on my racecar than a guy with a model T, but there are shit tons of muscle cars out there being driven every day.
Any vehicle that doesnt have tags on it isnt going to be driven much.

driving on a public road is a priveledge, something that can be qualified, just like saftey and emissions inspections. the fact that old cars get off of this is bullshit IMO.
owning a vehicle and operating it on private property is a personal freedom
and I wouldnt have any problem running a cat on my racecar if class rules required it.
and i think leaded gas should be outlawed
