Yeah, I've seen the letter. My impression was that California was cracking down hard with fines and heat on the vendors. The state out there needs money bad. It was my thought that Edge did not close down their racing operation out of civil concerns. But, I sure don't know that, it could be the case. Are they a California company? If so, that would explain it. I can't imagine the EPA comming after a non-commerical entity, not their style. They are prone to push the states into enacting laws to enforce their wishes. As I read the latest law pertaining to our trucks the DOJ is charged with enforcement. I really don't see them going after an individual or even a small company. They also are more likely to sue the states to make them enact inspections and enforcement. Just my opinion, and may be totally wrong, but I don't see the diesel truck tuner business going away anytime soon. The manufacturers have a bad design and unless or untill they change it or perfect it truck owners are going to find wayas to save their 50,000 + dollar trucks. And yes, I guess I use my evo the way it is or start over with new hardware. I'm gonna try the former first and see what happens when I tow.
