The 2022 Heartland Model Car Nationals will be the 30th consecutive (except for the 2020 Covid break) show put on by the KC Slammers Model Car Club based in Kansas City. Ours is a model car show that averages between 450 and 500 models entered each year. We have 29 separate classes and 16 Master Awards, including the Heartland Champion award. In 2021 our Heartland show had 85 vendor tables with tons of kits, aftermarket parts, etc.
The Overland Park Convention Center is a great venue with plenty of parking, nearby restaurants and lodging. We put together a PowerPoint awards show with photos of the class winners and Master Awards along with the entrant’s name and class sponsor. It is simply a great show put on by fellow car modelers for modelers. For our military minded friends, we even have a class called “Military (automotive related)…any non-track, automotive-style vehicle used by any military force from any nation”. You need to join us and, hey, we’re almost dead center in the middle of our country.
Our 2022 theme is “Droptop” which means If you can put it down, take it off, open it up, fold the top and stick it in the trunk…or if it’s a hard top with a retractable roof such as a ’59 Ford Sunliner or BMW Z4 you’ve got a “Drop Top” and you are THEME ELIGIBLE! See you there!
