Anybody who has been to a major race, be it NASCAR, F1, IRL, Cart etc realizes when walking by the team haulers or going through the pit areas that the drivers tend to have their share of mechanical toys.

Greenlight has a monopoly on the IRL cars in 1:64th and I bet with a little background check that many of the drivers have owned some of the stock version cars GL kicks out in 1:64th as well. Perhaps a different kind of two pack where the driver's race car and personal car is done. Not necessarily the Pace car/ winning Indy car two packs of the past but an actual stock GL car replicated to the same specs of the drver's car he/she owned?

I remember when PM did the Pace Car/winning driver combo that blew me away at the time but the obscure colors that were done were very frustrating. I'd prefer to see the car done as it looked when the driver owned it, even if it was perhaps in PIP condition. With the GL eye for detail that might be pretty cool and a way to get another series out there. Let's say for example, Danica Patrick owned a rough 1970 Ford Mustang. To have Danica's race car and '70 Mustang in her early years before fame in a two pack might be pretty killer.

No, they show interest in us, ask questions on Fridays, want input and need help in the cause, I've been known to get involved in a cause or two before so why not?:)

Agreed. They are much more collector friendly than the other guys.

So what are you saying Matt? You don't want to see a picture of 18 year old Danica washing her slightly rusted 1970 Mustang in all its glory a couple years back next to her IRL car she straps on today? huh, HUH? :p

As attractive as that girl is, she annoyed the heck out of me on "Power Block".

Greenlight is very interested in collectors opinion. I know on my visit to GL in September they asked me many questions and ideas, may even see 1 or 2 in the near future. I felt very welcomed on my visit and all the GL team are great people.
