Re SB- 232

[Ron61]

Moderators, I am posting this here but if it is in the wrong place please move it to whearever it should be.

Now the gist of the story: I just got off the phone after talking to Senator Benoit's office in Sacramento and here is what I was asked to do. The bill will be coming up for a vot before to long and he is sponsering it for some car club.
They want everyone who is interested in cars, especially the Special Construction ones to write a letter to the Senator stating their interest and how much that 500 number needs to be abolished. The reason for letters instead of e-mails and such is they can then take physical proof to the Senate when they go to have the bill voted on that it has a lot of backing. It will permanently do away with the 500 number limit and you will still have to meet the regular SB-100 criteria, except everything will be registered by year of body and no engine years which I know of no one up here who ever used anything but the body year.
So would everyone in California who is interested in getting rid of the 500 number limit please writh to the Senator expressing your interest and thanks to him for sponsering this bill. If they can get enough letters before the bill is voted on, they think it has a good chance of passing as the revenue alone that it would take in would be a big incenantive. Plus the fact they arex going to stress that these cars are not daily drivers and most are driven for shows, parades, and such and only in the Summer or on good days. This is important for all of us in this state so please write a short letter expressing your support and if you are a member of a car club and the club prersident will write a letter reprersenting the club that will carry a lot of weight too.

The Address is:

Senator John Benoit
State capital Room 4066
Sacramento, Cal. 95814.

Thanks,

Ron
