I don't think we'll ever see the 86 again it's too expensive to manufacture.

Like the model 99 lever gun.
Best lever ever made but too expensive to produce.

Same with a model 37 pump shotgun and endless countless others we can think of.

No longer viable due to the cost of production.

To the best of my knowledge.
Those are not a true model 37 Ithaca.
No steel receiver, no removable barrel and they're not even made by Ithaca.
Those are made by a company called Ithaca Gun Company and not the same.
Academy Sports used to be a distributor.

Ithaca gun company has been so since 1883.
No. The guns have changed a little but not much.
That shotgun above is indeed made by Ithaca Gun Company. No its not made in Ithaca, its made in Sandusky Ohio.
If it doesn't have a removable barrel, you'll have a hell of a time swapping the vent rib, for the 24" rifled barrel that comes included in the package.

So let me see if I have this right?

An Ithaca made by Ithaca is not an Ithaca,

but an Ithaca made by Ithaca is an Ithaca?

Lucky I live in Australia and it is now time for a Bourbon....
 
I was under the impression it was because they were getting too fast for the runout at the end of the track and many established tracks couldn't increase the length of the runout, so the solution was to shorten the 'race' portion. This solved the problem two ways. 1. they couldn't get to the higher speeds. 2. they had more runout room.

Probably that too. There are a couple of tracks they struggle to stop at now, so would have no chance at 400+.
Just stating what one of the Top Fuel drivers says in one of his YouTube videos.

338 mph on a 1000 foot track. I wonder what the speed would be on the 1320. They would have to start putting carrier deck arresting systems to stop.
Would the tire company figure out how to keep them together?
