Poster GeraldE61 on the JL forum over at HOBBYTALK.COM shares an update from Lightningfest organizer Mark Hosaflook about the status of this years event. Apparently, RC2 has pulled out of backing the popular convention which Johnny Lightning collectors have enjoyed for the last seven years. Hosaflook indicates that he and the many sponsors of Lightningfest have “other coals in the fire” and might have a Plan-B type idea in the works.

Since much of the planning of an event the size of Lightningfest has to take place well in advance, arrangements for the 2007 PSR, Charity ET Racing, Rocket 500 and Custom Car Contest castings where actually made during the 2006 fest. Any independent event that happens in place of Lightningfest would not make use of these castings, so they are being offered up for sale in order to get back some of the costs. Details about the cars and how to get involved can be found on a sticky thread in the JL forum on HOBBYTALK.COM.

Meanwhile, RC2/Johnny Lightning has hinted that there there is something in the works and will be announced in February.
