The 2024 Heartland Model Car Nationals will be the 32nd show put on by the KC Slammers Model Car Club based in Kansas City, KS. 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 2023 our Heartland show had some 85 vendor tables sold with tons of model car kits, aftermarket parts, etc.

The show format is:

Day 1 (8 June) is for model registration only. The registration time is from 2:00pm until 7:00pm. Outside of those times only club members are permitted to stay as we judge the models from 7:00pm until judging is complete.

Day 2 (9 June) is the actual show with doors open at 9:00am with awards at 3:00pm. The show usually finishes at 4:00pm.
