Thanks Chris. Sometimes people post things assuming everybody else knows what they are talking about. More info is always helpful.

Most of the people reading this board already know this, but for those that do not, GSL is the longest continuous running national-level model car contest in the history of the hobby.  The first successful one took place in 1981 (the 1980 even was cancelled at the last minute).  It ran annually for many years, then in more recent years, moved to a bi-annual format which seems to work well.  

More than just a contest, it is really a gathering of some of the world's best model car builders, as well as many aspiring and up and coming builders who are treated as equals and welcomed with great respect.  

You will occasionally read negative comments about GSL from some who attend the first time and don't understand what it is all about, but for many of us this is one of the premier events in the hobby.

If you are reading this Board, you owe it to yourself to attend at least one GSL in your lifetime.
