PFI Speed isn't going anywhere, we love you Brent!

We are all in this wild fight to save our race cars! It’s still super hard for me to believe that some unelected officials can decide what race cars should be and what we are aloud to do with our cars , our dreams ,and our goals. We are in this to win this. So please sign the #rpmact and keep fighting

When you get a seemingly innocuous letter from any government agency, get an attorney. Don't screw around.

Seeing Brent's hold his emotions back is rough given how awesome and positive of a person he is...seeing the frustrations.

The EPA needs to realize that many of the advances in car technology come directly from racing activities.

Its heartbreaking to hear that he feels like he let people down. Our government is out of control.

I have met so many guys in my life who would have some sort of some substance abuse (or used to) issue if it wasn't for cars and racing. This is a way that grown men who work 8,10, and 12-hour days unwind on the weekends. It's a way that they pass down how to service your car to their children. It's a way that they can pass down a healthy distressing outlet.

Very glad you guys did this interview with Brent. He needed a opportunity to voice himself on a bigger scale! Supporting you man!!

Sounds like somebody in the gov is using the EPA as a hedge for their EV, charging and lithium stock.

100% glad you chose to stand your ground and show people this is a joke.

Brent was like "it's so nice to meet you!" Dude was like " look we are just trying to pass the rpm act, and you are where the spotlight is so...." Wtf

Guilty without a trial, sounds more to me like extortion!!!!

Apparently "Life, Liberty, and The Pursuit of Happiness" has no standing anymore.

The sad reality is, even IF these parts were being sold to folks using them on the street, what percentage of the cars driving down the road are fitted with these parts??? It has to be less than 1%! The EPA should be picking better battles to fight that will actually impact the environment rather than fuck with people's livelihoods just because they can...

This literally couldn’t have happened to the nicest guy out there with the biggest heart honestly Brent we support u and just keep your head high, so unfair the world is not working properly

You’re a great guy Brent! I love trying to do little bit here and there to help out all you people at PFISPEED. Cases of Chocolate chip cookies etc. love watching everything you and the gang do in the shop and especially seeing the cars you work on and GOOFY BUILT engines he rebuilds for everyone that runs down the track! Hang in there! Roger in Pierre South Dakota

Here in Europe they test emmissions yearly to get a sticker to be road legal. It doesn't matter if you have a custom ecu and put a v8 in a mini cooper. as long as it emits emissions lower than the law then it passes... America is fast loosing its "land of the free" motto :( ... Good luck PFI!

the world is changing, and its forgetting who build it... its guys like Brent... not the fucking suited guy behind a desk...

When the EPA asked for that stuff, say "sure as soon as you get a search warrent."

am so glad someone has Brents back. He is such a nice and humble guy just trying to help out fellow racers. Really hope he wins this one.

"...complied with an EPA inquiry for details about the company’s sales..." That was the mistake. I don't care if it's a local cop or the EPA, DON'T ANSWER QUESTIONS! And call your lawyer.

22:05 This is how the EPA is trying to shut down the racing industry and even shut down enthusiasts from doing work on our own cars.

It's sad that it happens to people like Brent. He seems like such a good respectful dude. We support you Brent..

Need to get a lawyer! Need to show that each car runs for 1.5minutes. need to show what type of fuel is used. Need to show how much Co2 and other pollutant out put! Need to speak to your congress person, senator, and local leaders. Need to get signatures to show politicians your voting power!

This is what this country is all about, Sticking up for each other against government overreach! Great job Brent. You have a huge following wanting to see you beat these bully’s!

Brent is such a positive person. I hate to see him face adversity like this keeping him from reaching his potential.

Brent has to be the most genuine person I’ve ever seen!

Heaven forbid you drive your race car to work or to the store once in a while.

I love how genuine and sincere Brent is. When he talks about his family and his passion he chokes up. I have never owned a Honda but a car guy is a car guy (gals are “car guys” too!). We have to unite and push back before our hobbies are gone.

The EPA is getting like the ATF all they do is "shake down" good people that are harming no one. You build race cars that run cleaner as far as emissions that the big auto makers.

EPA is just like the ATF, and it's all about CONTROL over the peasants !! We need to take actions like rare bread trigger did !! That guy has balls.

Brent is so positive in the face of this adversity. I've signed!

Brent is a legend. He's light in a dark world and there are many that stand behind him. We need more people like Brent and less government

Here's my issue... I'm all for the RPM act, race cars have been around since the start of the automobile but it all started with some random person modifying their STREET CAR in their garage. Who is fighting for us? I don't have the money to build a track only car! Nor do I have a race track close to me so I would need to have a truck and a trailer along with that track car. So now I'd also need space to store a race car, a trailer and a truck plus daily driven vehicles for my wife and I. Not everyone that wants to race has that opportunity, most of us simply modify our daily drivers to make them funner, faster, look better or lower/higher. We are Hot Rodding! We want our cars to be as clean running as possible, we want as much power as possible, we want clean air to breathe too! Why is it if I put a new engine and emissions equipment that get 30mpg in a vehicle that is 30years old and only got 10mpg with little to no emissions equipment that vehicle would no longer be "technically" legal because it no longer complies with 30 year old emissions standards, or because that out of date equipment was removed or tampered with?

The EPA needs to go investigate illegal oil dumping, illegal tire dumping into waterways, improper car painting procedures, and emission stations. Parts sales has nothing to do with the environment. End user agreement already states that the client will use the product in a proper fashion. What a joke the EPA has turned out to be. Extortion at it's finest. Don't give in Brent! Thank you SEMA and PRI for supporting him!

PFI is a lifeblood of automotive enthusiasts! Pass the RPM act, God Bless Brent!

This is clearly not a guy having a rant about his money being taken but literary ripping the life and soul out of him truly heart braking

Brent and PFI deserve all of our support!

Anyone who owns a business should pay attention to this situation. Brent made a mistake by just complying with a request for information from a Federal agency. PFI Speed should have reached out to a lawyer to find out what is protected and what has to be turned over to the EPA. Chances are, PFI screwed themselves over by just complying automatically. Let the EPA go through the courts to demand a copy of your records.

Thanks for supporting Brent and the bois

Brent should be the international voice of motorsports. His positivity and passion is infectious and he should be the host for every car event, ever.

The EPA is so outrageously out of line they’d probably try an fine us for a fart !!!!

Brent, your a great man. I only wish and pray that we have more men like yourself. You were raised the right way..

I expressed my disagreement with EPA over this issue with our Congressman, Brett Guthrie (R) KY. I received a letter from his office stating his support of the EPA. This appears to indicate Congressman Guthrie has become a supporter of Big Government, which is at odds with his constituents. This area is home of Ohio Valley Dragway, which holds several NHRA events.

Such a great representation of an even greater company. All of our hearts dropped with Brent's (PFI) video dropped as a 'cry for help' as he put it in this video. What the EPA is doing is the crime here. We need to band together and march against this !

It's heart breaking to see the happiest guy on youtube forced into this state of mind. Be strong Brett, it ain't over till the mass challenged lady sings!

Working with my son in my business has been great. He learned the ropes way sooner than I did. Next-generation is indeed the future and a bleSSing.

As a racing community let's ask some important questions. 1. Who runs the EPA? 2. Who regulates them? 3. Who decides if someone actually broke a law? 4. Who can fine the EPA for being corrupt? Are they ever wrong? 5. How many people have "tuned" their vehicles and now it runs cleaner and burns less fuel? 6. If we buy a vehicle do we really own it? Or is the EPA sorta like the government and land taxes? Stop paying taxes and loose your land? 7. Who in the EPA sets the actual fine amounts? Some desk jockey who still frequents "Plenty Of Fish"? 8. Who in the EPA knows enough about OUR industry to honestly understand what is harmful and what isn't? 9. Does the EPA know that an airplane burns more fuel and pollutes more than hundreds of automobiles combined!? 10. Can the EPA fine Mother Nature? We all know a Volcano creates more pollution than mankind has in our history on this planet right? All the EPA has evolved into is GOVERNMENT OVERREACH! And we pay their salaries people.... Let that sink in.

I've watched Bret and PFI speed for years on KZfaq and have never seen him once race anything on the streets. All his cars are purpose built for the racetrack only and all the cars these parts went to are for track use only. If you ask me he should be refunded his fine and be allowed to continue business without any issues.

Brent is such an amazing person and PFI is a great American company. Makes no sense they would go after the small business and not the manufacturer. Shows the EPA isn't really out to protect the environment.

It’s time to push back no way they can control what we do with our cars! Brent, pfi, speed shops we are behind you 110%🙏🏽

Well Done! Im not even really a car guy but i have love for it! Brent and PFI are great! Thanks PRI !

Talk about the definition of extortion, surprised they didn't send vinny and knuckles over to the shop.

Brent is one of the most humble and positive people I know

God bless SEMA! Car shows/events and track days for the next millennium. RPM ACT!

That quote about design I think is striking. As an engineer, there are different levels of design, there is engine design, there is ECU design, there is body design, etc. All of these things are snapped at one moment defining the design of that vehicle and all of the pieces of that design are maintained at Honda. By selling aftermarket parts including turbos, tuning kits, etc, we are reimagining that vehicle for a different purpose. If the vehicle was well suited for the intended purpose of racing, then PFI Speed would be out of business. These vehicles aren't. As such, they must be re-imagined and re-designed. By the EPAs own arguments, these vehicles are not being designed for on road use, and therefore they are applying the law incorrectly. Personally, this entire idea of the EPA playing shrink, and trying to get inside my head type of argument screams that they are trying to play make the accusation without proof. With the size of fine that they are levying, this must be a crime. Therefore, they need proof that indeed you sold parts for road vehicle use. The fact of the matter, the vehicles in question do not conform to any "road vehicle design" as designed by the manufacturer. The fact of the matter is that there is no evidence that these vehicles have been used for "on road use". The fact of the matter is that not only is there no proof that there was a crime committed, there is no indication that there was any intent to commit a crime. As such, even without the rpm act, the EPA has significantly over-reached and needs to be beaten back. (I do support the RPM act by the way). My belief is that there is a group of EPA agents who are showing there superiors the "new" way of digging up enforcement by trolling through youtube videos all day. I wouldn't be suprised honestly if there isn't a think tank or other group trying to undermine any form of anything that regular people like that involves any connection to fossil fuels, fossil lubricants, or internal combustion engines. My thoughts on this are driven by seeing youtube blogs from other individuals engaged in performance tuning in the diesel arena and other areas where there have been massive fines. I don't know if it is just youtube, though there are others getting hit on youtube engaged in tuning and modifying internal combustion engines. This is very concerning as this cuts across right to repair, as well as our ability to teach our population how to design and build mechanical items. These skills are directly needed for war just like the amateur radio groups are pulled from during times of war to support military communications networks. Currently, our military and our ability to defend ourselves directly relates to electronics combines with combustion. All of the sorts of tests that you need to run to make sure a military digital radio system is properly functioning are also skills that you would need in order to program and peek these race cars. This is more that just a community under attack. This is a specific and very important skill set among our population which is under attack.

Salute Brent. Hes showing the way for the next generation of enthusiasts. A living *LEGEND* Everyone should back him and sign that #RPMact

This is a problem that can be solved if we can get the right people to talk and work together. True race cars that only ever see track time make up such a small number of vehicles, the emissions have a negligible effect on overall air quality. Race cars don't need to be emissions exempt either. We can make them reduced emissions. A limit needs to be found and set. Amatuer car racing was born from the availabilty of production cars. Modifying your car is about as American as it gets. The EPA and even State Government is going to prevent us from touching the engine in even the simplest ways. Here in Colorado, our new emissions laws require checking the ECU programming against a database. If the programming doesn't match, you fail emissions. This is regardless of what the programming changes are for. Want to change the temperature that your electric cooling fan turns on at because you tow? Now you fail emissions. In the aftermarket world, we have the ability to make a 2000+ Horsepower engine pass the current emissions standards. But this doesn't matter if they won't even test the vehicle because of a programming mismatch. We don't need emissions exemption. We need a pathway to pass emissions with modified vehicles. There has to be an understanding that finding a way to pass emissions will lead to overall better air quality as it will prevent the current disaster of a situation were cars are returned to stock to pass, then immediately re-modified with no emissions equipment at all. Sign the RPM Act: www.votervoice.net/SEMA/campaigns/45394/respond Write your local and federal representatives: www.usa.gov/elected-officials It will take the voices of all the enthusiasts to be heard to make a change.

Everyone give this man a Dollar.. screw the EPA!

We need to help pass the RPM Act and help Brent fight back.

Hurts to see Brent and the Pfi family go through this, you interviewed so well Brent. Backing you guys all the way from Australia.

My favorite part about Brent is that he isn't afraid to mention God, church, and his love for this country. Such a solid dude. I hope to shake his hand some day. I know we can win this fight together

They can't demand anything without a warrant. 4th amendment, 5th amendment you have the right to not incriminate yourself.

If it came with a catalitic converter, the EPA will go after you if you mess with it. They have been doing that for 20 years.

So honored to know people like Dr Jamie and seeing all that they do for us in this Industry 🙏🏽

Definitely sharing this I been watching PFI for many years after been done with drug abuse because I found a great hobby and awesome new friends in this industry that keep me strong and looking forward staying away from my old life slowly building my race car and helping each other, together we’re stronger

Stay strong brent keep your head up and you'll get out of all of this BS that EPA has against everyone not only you

i just hope enough industry people stand up i mean the ones with power someone needs to keep brent going he is the nicest most humble guy he would drive 1000 miles to help a friend

Brent, everyone knows that you're an incredibly genuine guy, and a super humble person. Everyone has their own demons they fight with, every day... Dont be afraid to reach out to your peers and community

We are with you Brent/PFI team. You are keeping kids be better people off the street off drugs. You are helping adults follow dreams and passions. Keeping people alive. Personally your videos make me smile in the hardest times of my life. I am extremely obliged. Thank you. Live blessed and keep up what you do!!! J swap Jason.

I've known Brent since the early 90's. When PFI was part finders. This guy lives for this. Unit 731. If you know you know.

Gladi opened this , sorry to hear the EPA blackmailed you for 18 grand brother ! I get where your coming from , for the little guy that is a huge hit ! Many of us do this because we love it and if we make a little money during the fun than great and then government screws you !

$18k in 30 days or its $180k sounds like the MAFIA !!!!!! Love you Brent !

Great story. I am in New Zealand and been following Brent for a while, I cant imagine life without racing and he has done nothing wrong. I tried to sign the RPM act but couldnt because not in USA. Thanks for supporting PFI and all the other shops that have been hit by this.

We don't have any of this in the UK just yet, but times are changing for the motor industry...

These are my hometown boys! Much love Brent!

Absolutely Love Brent and his attitude. High level spokesman here.

Although PFI is a small cog in the gear, this not only affects them but also the big guys. Summit Racing, Edelbrock, etc. Please sign the RPM Act! Mad respect to Brent and his team.

So EPA is going to start attacking the businesses that supply racing parts or modifications? This is beyond ridiculous.

Here's the thing, if the EPA would do their job to limit the amount of pollution big multimillion dollar factories put out, there would be no need for them to bully around the common citizen. The ammount of pollution that we the common folk contribute with is a ridiculously small percentage, compared to other sources of hazardous waste products.

I've been following Brent & his team on KZfaq for a while now. To me he's a great fun loving guy who's hard working & knows his stuff. And I love the antics he gets upto with Cleetus & his gang. Stay strong Brent, There's more than just the American race industry behind you. I'm a fan in Australia BTW. Keep doing what you do, and I'll keep watching.

The EPA can never outlaw our passion for racing

Brent seems like a genuinely good and honest dude and it's a shame the EPA is coming at good honest people like this and shaking them down. I'm not a big fan of Hondas myself but come the day that you can't even see a modified Honda on the road will be a sad day. I've tried to get friends of mine to sign the RPM Act but they either don't care or don't get it. It makes me mad because if it was something themat threatened their hobby or livelihood and do what I could to support and help protect it but most of them don't care about cars or the motorsports industry...

It’s customers who drive their cars on public roads, they mess up the business cause cops to come meet for illegal racing. It’s like your brand is on display when they are pulled over

brent is such an awesome dude and absolutely deserves the best, no one should have to deal with this but brent especially is such a wholesome guy and really a genuine gift to the racing community.

Man, this had me tearing up.. it's always the good guys that take the toughest hits. Keep it up Brent I love having people like you out there speaking up for us and our community.. The car community is what helped me stay on the strait and narrow and kept me on track to avoid going down the wrong road. Sad to see government coming in to break up good people's lives and communities.

I talked to my dad about this, a supervising investigator for the EPA in Denver. He didn't know anything about it, which he said means it came from some low level peon trying to make a name for themselves. I doubt that the wheels of time can be turned back on this incident, but now that a high level guy is aware, hopefully this is the last issue for race shops in Colorado. I signed the RPM Act, I hope everyone will do the same.

You didn’t let anybody down Brent!!!!

Thank you for producing this video and telling Brent's story and hopefully the EPA will relax a little and work with the industry not against it . 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

The government is really out of line with this. Keep your head up Brent

The EPA now claims that ANY vehicle that EVER had a VIN is subject to THEIR "jurisdiction". They also claim that ANY modifications to the engines, transmissions or ANY component of the powertrain that removes, modifies, defeats, etc. ANY factory installed and EPA MANDATED "pollution control" devices is ILLEGAL and WILL BE FINED! They have been doing this against off-road and competition diesels already! Several shops have been fined TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars for this! This violates current LAW as well as SCOTUS ruling that EPA has ZERO authority to make LAWS or rules/regulations that carry WEIGHT of law! SEMA is going to be dissolved unless these ECONAZIS are STOPPED!

Brent! D: I can't believe you are going through this.... We LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

The opening gave me chills. PFI is an epic team.

This is why I'm working with converting everything to older fuel management and older vehicles. I see carbs being the only way to get out of this government overreach because there is nothing to stop the government doing to cars what they are doing to firearms, and that's supposed to be protected by the constitution.

Forever PFI SPEED!! I've always wanted and still do, go to Colorado and ship my 300 out there and go to the shop🙏🏽💪🏽

This world has few precious things and they want to get rid of one of them? Not okay, PFI deserves all the support and love. Best of luck with this maddening situation

Brent and pfi Is my favorite channel. Love that guy an all he stands for an tries to spread. Happy guy with awesome outlook an healthy hobby!! We all got your back Brent

Bent is an amazing guy I met him and his crew in Houston and they are all respectful and honest. We need more like them in the world. God Bless !

Brent is a stand up guy! Which can be hard to find in the performance car shop

Totally behind you Brent! It's crazy what's going on! Lord Help us!
