The recent Goodguys Heartland Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa, is hailed by enthusiasts, including John Jackson and the author, as the ultimate Goodguys car show. Set in the scenic Iowa State Fairgrounds, the event boasts facilities that enhance the experience, such as roads for cruising, restaurants with patios, and ample spaces for autocross and other activities. Despite the ongoing debate regarding the best venue for major Goodguys awards, the author believes Des Moines deserves the spotlight more than Columbus, Ohio.

The atmosphere of the event was undeterred by rainfall, with a large turnout from Thursday through Sunday, particularly bustling on the 4th of July. The local vibe fostered a lively cruising scene, demonstrating the community’s passion for cars. The coverage included a video by John Jackson from Not Stock Photography, showcasing the event’s highlights. Although the team fell behind in documenting cars on Saturday, they managed to capture everything by Sunday, ensuring winners were celebrated in the winners’ circle.

For anyone considering attending a Goodguys event, the author strongly recommends making the Heartland Nationals a must-see. The enthusiasm and energy at this event leave no attendee disappointed, confirming its status as a premier destination for car lovers.
