Default 1/2 A Pylon Racer

A while back I deleted some of my obsolescent sites in my favorites and removed one that I didn't want to. It was a company that sells a 1/2A pylon racer made of fiberglas. It was JH Glascraft or something like that. Does anyone have the info that might help me? They had a great little racer and I want to try it. Are there any groups out there sanctioning 1/2A racing yet?

Their website seems to be down. Here's a discussion about it from the "other" forum:

When I go to www.jmglascraft.com I get a Go Daddy site that is coming soon. It lists bass boats etc. What's up?

on the go daddy page, it states that Glasscraft is parked free, that means the guy stopped his site, so go daddy trys to re direct to others, most of them in the marine bussiness. sad to see him pull the plug on his models, but I understand.

I can't see how a 1/2A plane buulder could be successful with fiberglass offerings. Vacuformed plastic fuselage with sheet wing and tail surfaces seems like the only way to make money.

Does any one know what his older kits from the early 80s would be worth
