The show is back with a brand new format and it’s season premiere was a huge hit. We see Ted more involved with auctions, swap meets and a new marketing plan.

Colby Martin
Colby belongs to an organization that fights for every car enthusiast. They work closely with Washington’s congressmen to make sure they understand how vehicles laws might impact on the classic car industry. In addition, they work with state and local governments in providing statistical information needed when making laws.
This past year the nation’s government has been trying to make into law – a bill that would prohibit converting a car into a race car – and then – converting it back to use on the roads. Click here a video of Colby explaining about this bill and how you can help.

Ted Vernon from South Beach Classics – http://www.tedvernon.com/index.php
Ted loved visiting us last summer, hopefully he’ll be back soon. We discussed the new show and Lucy who is helping the dealership marketing and other recent events. Ted becoming a grand-father. Of interest, another network has approached Ted on a new show deal. Currently the working title is Male Chauvinist Ted.
Colby Martin from SEMA/SEMASAN calls in to discuss the RPM Act, the Recognizing the Protection of Motorsports Act. Last year the act was all set to pass both houses but they ran out of time due to the election so SEMA is working to get this passed in 2017. This is all due to the EPA working on a regulation that had a paragraph stating that it would be illegal to convert a street car into a racecar. The RPM Act will aid in letting the EPA know that they cannot control vehicles that are converted for racing which is actually a not-street-legal area which should fall outside of government control.
