Not completely, and mostly for 'on the road' vehicles.
It's just like our Government. Their hearts are in the right place I guess, but they have absolutely no idea on how to implement things...

My favourite parts would have to be we've heard leaded fuel may be worse then origionally thought, though were not going to look into it. Were not totally banning the use of leaded fuels, just for use in compatition, which makes up 1.5% of the total use. The other 98.5% is aviation fuels, which have a permanent exemption from this bill. Wow that makes alot of sense to me, typical government Looks like I better get out to an IHRA event this year, as it may be my last chance.....

Don't ever expect any government to act in accordance with common sense. I wouldn't expect racing to end, though. It'll just be a touch slower until someone figures out a way around the legislation.
I'm surprised there isn't a stronger call for an outright ban on all forms of automotive (and other) competition. What's the use of it, compared to the dwindling supplies (and rising prices) of oil? It would actually make more sense, even though it would SUCK.
