what ever happened to...?

[GT Freak]

I was looking in a '97 issue and was thinking:
what happened to these:confused:
WOOD RACING
the readers ride of the year: nitro sand rail
DEANS black box 1&2
MOTOR MAN motors
TAKE OFF Wheels
FACTORY WORKS
HOT BODIES
CEC
MRC

[KartMan]

Deans black boxes are still available, so are Take Off's (Schumacher), Factory Works has found a saviour (Thanks Tony), Hot Bodies is still working it's magic, and MRC is still living strong through Altech Marketing.

I am not firmiluar with the other companies, so I assume they went away.
