It looks like John Connoly with Aircooled.net is operating. His website is listing an address (I recall reading that he had been in the process of moving) and the website is now showing a 2024 copyright date.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up. I think John maintains the site for his tech articles. The address is where he’s always been, a few blocks away from the old ACE/Blackline Racing shop.
He may be back up and running, but the Covid header still on his page gives me pause. I guess an email would answer the question.
Yes, I would think that the coof thing would be water under the bridge by now but some keep holding on to it for whatever reason. For some it was the opportunity to retire; maybe that is the case with him.
Pre-C19, John had backed out almost completely: he didn't come into the shop and he stopped posting on the forums. He always responded to emails, and may still (although I don't know).
I don't think aircooled.net as a place to buy parts is ever coming back. The hobby is diminished for the loss.
I bought a BUNCH of stuff there, for both myself and others. Between them, CB, and Scat, That took care of me. Now there's only two, and CB is getting some bad customer service press.
It's a sad state of affairs.
