TopherMcGinnis Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 I didn't see a post referencing model car shows. I've never attended one, but would really like to. I stopped by a cool hobby shop yesterday in Spartanburg, SC-Mason's Hot Rod & Hobby Shop. I picked up a kit and some supplies along with a flyer for a show in January. I'm not far from Charlotte, NC and am wondering how I can find if there are other shows within a few hours drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainford Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 There is the 'Shows and Contests' section of the forum, near the bottom of the main forum page. Also, the magazine regularly posts announcements of upcoming shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 There is usually a swap meet in Salisbury every February, I think it's on the Saturday before the Daytona 500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Brian Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 I'm in the Charlotte area too. In addition to Spartanburg in January there is a show in Simpsonville in May I believe and a show in Clemmons NC later inthe summer. There is the February swap meet mentioned and there will be another one in April in Shelby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopherMcGinnis Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 I lived in Stanley for 17 years. I used to go to the little place that had the 1:25 scale drag strip. Speaking of, have you visited Fast Trax in Troutman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopherMcGinnis Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 If there aren't 1000 kits in there, I'd be surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vintagerpm Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 IPMS/USA's web site has a list of IPMS model shows around the country. It is continually updated, so if you don't see anything listed for later in the year, check back in a few weeks or months. https://ipmsusa.org/all-events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 They didn't have the show in Clemmons last year, a conflict or something with the venue. Hope they get it straightened out, there's a good BBQ restaurant there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
