Colorado Emissions Testing - Classic Car

I thought I'd post this in OT for the larger viewing...

I brought my 1984 3.2 911 in for emissions testing here in the Denver metro area. It's registered as a classic so I have to run it through testing every five years. It passed (it has a Cat and is running well so I expected it to).

Five years ago they checked for the presence of a Cat Converter and O2 sensor. This year (I watched) they didn't check and it also stated "NA" for those categories on the paperwork. Colorado emissions in the Front Range are about as strict as California. Anybody know what gives?

Also - this pisses me off - the limits for CO2 and NOx have been lowered compared to five years ago. Aren't they supposed to reference the requirements for the year it was manufactured? I have a feeling they'll just keep bumping them down until they force my car off the road.
