The GSRA is one of the oldest street rod associations in the USA, having been formed in 1976. The GSRA promotes the car hobby in general and is open to all walks of life. All you need is a healthy interest in automobiles. You don't have to even own a car!! Spouses and significant others are welcome at our all our events. In fact many spouses run the 50/50 drawings and participate in the swap meet. Without spousal support the GSRA would not run as smoothly.
A couple things that make us different...we do not have a cut off date for our events, like some rod associations. Our members have all sorts of automobiles - stocks, rods, trucks, motorcycles, and customs. National Events (NSRA) though, do have a 1948 cut-off date. We have regular monthly meetings that encompass discussion of old and new GSRA business, selection of the Car of the Month, purchase of 50/50 tickets, and meet new members/greet old members. All are welcome to come check us out.

Located beside the manufacturing facility is the Panoz Heritage Center, an intimate look at the race cars that helped put America back into international sports car racing. On display are such renowned Panoz race cars as the LMP 900 Nurburgring winner, 24 hours of Le Mans winner, Indy 500 winner, first ever electric/gasoline hybrid race winner and several other key Panoz race cars. The Heritage center is attached to the showroom where visitors can also view the many street cars that have born the Panoz marque over the years.
The Heritage center is open to the public Monday thru Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and on Saturday by appointment. The center also offers the opportunity for groups to tour the facility by appointment and to rent the heritage center for private, small group events with catering provided by nearby Chateau Élan.
All proceeds for group rentals are donated to the following charities; Eagle Ranch, Chestnut Mountain Ranch and the Braselton Library.

1958 Porsche 356 Speedster
The 1958 Porsche 356 Speedster marks the swan song of one of Porsche’s most iconic and minimalist models. Originally introduced in 1954 at the urging of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, the Speedster was designed to be a low cost, lightweight, stripped-down entry sports car that could double as a weekend racer, especially for the California sports car scene. With its low windshield,…

1948 Rover P3 Saloon
The 1948 Rover P3 Saloon marked a pivotal moment in the evolution of British motoring.
