The GSRA is one of the oldest street rod, specialty ride and custom car associations in the USA. It was formed in 1976 by members of a number of car clubs to address legislative, insurance and safety issues facing the automotive hobby. 

The GSRA continues to promote 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 own a car.  Family members are welcome at all our events and many of them volunteer their time to help with the charity car shows, swap meet, picnic and other GSRA activities alongside GSRA member volunteers.

Our members have all sorts of automobiles - stocks, street rods, specialty rides, trucks, motorcycles, and custom cars. All years, makes and models are welcome.  We have monthly meetings and events. We conduct business and vote a Car of the Month. Everyone has an opportunity to talk with new and old members and tour the auto related business that is hosting us that month. Come check us out.  See our Coming Events page.

On a serious note, our goal is to monitor, educate and inform on automobile legislation that could adversely affect our hobby. We regularly monitor activity in the Georgia legislature. We support all the safety issues laid out by the National Street Rod Association. At many of our bi-monthly board and general meetings there are NSRA inspectors available to make sure member rods are safe. Inspections also take place at NSRA meets around the state. All inspections are free.

We have signature events that mark our year:

First is our swap meet and flea market held in March at JR Miller Park in Marietta, Georgia. We have a large part of the park, and offer large swap spaces and a separate car corral.  For those driving their rod or custom, we even have inside the park parking. This is always a rain or shine event.  The proceeds go to support GSRA activities over the year.

Second is our annual picnic open to ALL car enthusiasts.  If you are planning to be in Georgia on July 20, 2019, keep your eye on this website's Events page for the time and other details.  We encourage ALL car clubs in Georgia to come participate.  This is a fun event held in Indian Springs State Park and features good food and fellowship, selection of GSRA Car of the Year and lots of great cars.

Third area includes the charity car shows and cruise-ins that we co-sponsor during the year which benefit military veterans and children, including our GSRA Summit Racing Equipment Car Show to benefit Honor Flight and the Streetside & GSRA Cruise-In to benefits Toys for Tots.
