Driving Force Action (DFA) is the political voice for the builders, racers, business owners, manufacturers and enthusiasts powering the $337 billion automotive aftermarket industry. We are the leading defenders of America’s rich automotive heritage that for generations has enabled people and working families to live their best lives through business, recreation, and mobility.
Driving Force in 2024 activated hundreds of thousands of voters to reject the Biden-Harris EV Mandates, which President Trump and Congress would then repeal to prevent a national ban on gas-powered engines.
But the 2024 election was never the finish line – it was the start.
The fight isn’t over. Not even close. Because still too often, the voices powering American manufacturing, innovation and small business are overlooked by policymakers.
That’s why we’re back.

Wisconsin`s motorsports industry generates billions in economic impact and supports thousands of jobs.
So why did Governor Evers veto a bipartisan bill to protect local racetracks?

Today, the Department of War spends tens of billions annually to sustain its fleet of more than 420,000 vehicles--but outdated restrictions often prevent it from working with the small- and mid-sized American businesses best equipped to do the job. The Warrior Right to Repair Act would fix that, unlocking new opportunities for manufacturers, suppliers and specialty-equipment companies to compete for defense sustainment contracts.
For SEMA members, the benefits are clear: new revenue streams, long-term business stability and the ability to apply aftermarket innovation to strengthen national defense. For the military, it means faster repairs, greater readiness and lower costs for taxpayers.
Recent global conflicts have shown the critical role small, adaptable manufacturers play in keeping vehicles mission ready. From heavy trucks to off-road utility vehicles, the ability to rapidly fabricate, retrofit and repair equipment can determine readiness on the ground. America`s small businesses and the automotive aftermarket are ready to fill that role here at home.
The Warrior Right to Repair Act ensures that the Department of War--and the businesses that support it--can repair, maintain, and modernize equipment without unnecessary barriers.
BREAKING: SEMA Backs `Warrior Right to Repair` Act. The bill ensures that the Department of War--and the businesses that support it--can repair, maintain, and modernize equipment without unnecessary barriers.

A bill that would have been the first expansion of smog exemptions in California since 2004 has stalled in the State Assembly and will not be voted on in 2025.
Under California law, cars made after 1975 are not considered classics, and the definition has been essentially frozen since the Bush administration.
