No

If that is what I think it is, it is owned by a friend and he bought the domain and put that up
If I remember right, he caught shit from the present owners of JT, who thought he was trying to re-launch the line in MX, which would be a copyright issue

I'll check into it

We need sound effects on here. Right now would be a good time for the sound of somebodys chain being pulled.

Also, if I read that right, something's gonna happen in 263 DAYS? I think we've got time. I'm gonna go take a nap. *insert yawn here*

Time would be working against JT's comeback. Us Vets are the ones familair with the name brand. All the kids and up and comers never heard of them.

I read an article last year on the JT line, I believe it was in RacerX. It stated that John Gregory was thinking of jumping back in. He has grand kids now and they are starting to get interested in riding. Also sounded like he was over the paintball thing.

JT racing is one of my Facebook friends and they posted this link -they would not elaborate on specifics.

When I posted on their page that I wished they still produced gear they answered with this website. When I asked if this was a countdown to intro they responded with "We shall see"

As long as they can find a good designer anything's possible... what about Marc Blanchard? Not sure if he would anymore be interested in that though...

Reviving a marque starting with a squeeky-clean slate and an invaluable history...

Sounds like a dream. Every stich and style can be "this minute" fresh, but the brand was already built and waiting in the wings.

Done right, this could be great for the gear biz.

As long as they make gear that doesnt look like a chimp painted on it like most of the current ugly stuff.

I think modern materials and old school JT desings would be a sweet entry!

If they revive a real, oldschool design theme (retro) with up to date materials the stuff will fly off the shelves. However, if they play follow the leader like it looks like every other manufacturer does with the skulls and crossbones and techno puke option, it will be just another brand name.

Not all their gear Kicked Ass
Near the end (Pic below) it wasn't quite what we were used to in the 80s
