So, the 33th G-7 Worlds in slotracing are coming up! This year in Buena Park, in May!

 

 

The first, and biggest Worlds were in Gothenburg 1978 which Joel Montague, Team Camen, won. It was arranged by Go-69, Team ERC and Mölndals BK. There were 125 entries! 

 

Paul Pfeiffer (1980, 1982, 1984), P.A Watson (1987, 1989, 1991) and Paul "Beuf" Pedersen (2001, 2004, 2007) are the only ones who's won G-7 World three times!

The G-7 Worlds have been arranged 11 times in Europe, 14 times in the U.S, 6 times in Brazil and once in the Carribean (St. Marteen, Netherland Antilles) at Reggie Corams.

 

In 1989, the G-7 Worlds was arranged two times! First, in Chicago arranged by J-P van Rossem and IMCA. Later on, in San Antonio arranged by John Ford, Hasse Nilsson, Floyd Guernsey, Brian Gailey, Jim Honeycutt and Theresa Anderson.
