To Our Loyal Customers:
Over the years we have been pleased to provide you with the finest NASCAR plastic model kits featuring the most popular drivers. Regrettably however, over the last several years we have faced increasing licensing costs that are greater than our increase in sales. Despite our best efforts to secure reasonable licensing terms for NASCAR model kits in general, and the Car of Tomorrow in particular, we have been unable to develop a program that allows us to market the product at a viable price point. Consequently, we will not be issuing a kit on the Car of Tomorrow and, in fact, will be exiting the NASCAR business altogether. We will discontinue all sales of NASCAR plastic kits by February 28, 2009.

FUTURE STORY [Humor Warning]

Hasegawa's new Formula 1 kit will be a Ferrari 312T2 in 1/20th scale.
The Gallery has been nuking the database again... turned it off for a bit.
Have contacted my web host about the issues....
Looks like no North American GP in 2009...
Autosport.com is reporting that the Canadian GP has been dropped for 2009.
So no races whatsoever in North America then, and just the Brazilian GP in South America at the end of the season.
Wow...
