Heartland Model Car Nationals 2009

The KC Slammer's 18th Annual Heartland Model Car Nationals was held the weekend of June 13 and 14, 2009. It was again at the beautiful Overland Park Convention Center in the Kansas City Metro area. The model count was down a bit this year - most likely due to the economy but the quality of what was entered was perhaps the best ever.

Our special guest this year was none other than Jimmy Flintstone "The Resin King". Jimmy drove down all the way from his home in Wisconsin and brought a whole van-load of his resin goodies for sale. Of course, he was presented the ceremonial "Honored Guest Chair" with custom upholstery by Judy Hardister and custom painting and striping by local artist Hot Rod Huey.

All the pics are on here now. We're still going to try to put the right recipient's picture after each award but we'll get that later! We didn't quite get everybody but we got a lot of pictures of some smiling faces
