Does anybody know why they quit making 1/4 scale? Not enough sales??

I did notice they have one of my favorite FC's of all time, Don Prudhommes 1989 Skoal Firebird. He won the Bud Shootout and US Nationals in the same weekend, one of the few to do it. It was also his last Funny Car. Did they make a Firebird body or just paint a Vette to look like a Firebird?

there was a firebird funny car body, but they did not make it. They are pretty hard to find. I have a hammered up one, that i kept incase I felt like fixing it one day.

I have heard very simular stories. Its very suprising. I have never heard one good thing about that frank guy from anyone. I have personally never met or spoke to him though.
