Indianapolis raceway, Indy racing league, the actual Indy 500 race itself.  I
still can't believe Lego would make a $130.00 set and then can it for no
reason after only 3 months.  I ordered mine and got it much earlier than the
anticipated release date in September, then they finally showed up in stores
and were gone right away.  That was the last I saw them, sometime around last
Xmas.

I doubt it.  I just did a USPTO trademark search and diddn't find anything
obvious for "Super Street".  Also, the 8445 was actually recalled from
all stores, the 8448 was still sold by TLC stores until supply ran out a few
months ago.  8448 was not sold in regular stores in 2000 but was not recalled.

There was the problem with the air spring, but that was fixed right away.
I can't believe that would do it.
