Dennis, simple answer is no for this class.

As you see, these cars are not made any more and if you find one on Ebay or anywhere else, they would be expensive. Then the car would probably need to have a different motor put in the car, which would also require an adapter to change the car from a long can motor to a short can motor of the "correct" manufacture and RPM. Does everyone want to spend a $100.00 for one of these cars, and then spend another $25 to $50 to get the car "ready to race". I don't think most guys will do that, so I do Not think this class will be run anytime in the future. It would take 10 members to prove me wrong. Then if the class is run like Marc's Club from NH did, with the Slot.it parts and new wheels, bushings and axles, plus a different motor, I have to add some more money to the total to have a car like Marc's old club ran years ago when the cars were available.

I say this class is will not be run anytime with the RMSCC. Only a few members have cars now and it would be a great expense to get a car for this class if you wanted to run this class, NINCO Classics.

Just my idea for a new class is to have the cars available to all members, such as some of the classes we have run. Look at a few new classes we have run, such as the Revoslot, Sideways Group 5, Can Am with the Thunderslot and Slot.it cars, Modern GT with the many different cars that keep coming out from the manufacturers and Rally cars. We could pick another new class, or we could keep using the many different classes we already run.

I like the classes that's you mentioned to run again. I would like to also suggest adding a few more classes. Group C, LMP, Legends, Trans AM. Probably many more but just what comes to mind right now.

I have maybe found a solution for this class. Just need someone that has a job to win the bid on Ebay for all of the parts to make the cars "ready to race".

It is about 60 parts for NINCO cars, including NC-1 motors and motor adapters.

I have a few pictures of the Corvette SR 2 in blue. I was not able to get the NINCO car in blue. This car was on display at Lime Rock, as well as other rare Corvettes for this year's event.

What should a good price be?

What would be a max?

After selling my Pontiac Solstice for more than I was looking for maybe I could make this work.  Will not retire for a few more years based on Covid and current delivery/production issues unless someone steps in and purchases my business and building......

I have found an 3D printed adapter to use in a NINCO chassis to put a FC-130, like a Slot.it short can motor or the H&R "jack rabbit" 14 k motor, in a chassis that had a long can motor like an NC-2, NC-5, in the original car chassis. It is made by National Racers 3D, so it can be bought from Shapeways, a 3D printing service or direct from the company in Europe. It costs about $15.
