Driver Spotlight’s
Hey all, I will be hosting a show on my youtube channel highlighting people from the Diecast world. It will mainly be focused on highlighting the builder/drivers. I know a lot of you have been around, and done stuff like this before, or maybe you haven't, either way I'd like to create a place for everyone. It can be hard for new people to reach back into the archives to learn about who started where, who has achieved what. This will let the new builders and the audiance get some faces with the names, and at the very least the names that go with the iconic cars and numbers if you're camera shy.
I have a pretty simple format, We can do an email exchange and I can write all your stats and you can answer the questions I send you. We'd show off some of your cars, talk about some of your highlights. It would just basically be an interview. I would say no longer than 10 to 15 minutes per person. That way we can keep it short. we could also try filming the interview, if that's something you might be interested in. I'm open to ideas when it comes to that.
If you're feeling like the hobby is dying, then maybe this is a way we can get people back on board and or at least get people excited about racing again and learning about you, the driving forces behind mail in races.
If you're interested, leave a comment here that you want to do this, or send me a direct message or reach out to me via Facebook messenger. Whatever's easiest for you. Here's my email if you'd rather just communicate that way too - Trevor@gmsellc.com
Thanks guys and I hope some of you will take part in this!

We have our first Built to Race: An RRL Spotlight post up! James Iron Beard was our first guest and we sent him questions, he answered them and sent some pictures back and this is where we start!
Very cool you are doing this! So many good folks and personalities in this group. Glad they get to be in the spotlite and folks can find out more about them.
- Thanks man!! I’m hoping more sign up for this! I think it would be a lot of fun! — rush_racing_league
I'm down. DM me and ill shoot you my e-mail.
This is a great idea imo! So much so that I had actually been thinking about doing this exact thing or even maybe more like a podcast once I launch my channel and track. Of course a little disappointed I got beat to the punch but I hope this series is super successful for you! I'd be honored to be on the show at some point!
- Brooo! I do podcast, I have several shows I’ve done over the years. I’m new to the diecast hobby and wasn’t sure if there would be an interest in a show for diecast. May have to revisit that idea. Thanks for letting me know and I would for sure love to have you be apart of this!! Just let know! — rush_racing_league
- I am a big podcast guy and have considered doing my own in a couple different of the hobbies/communities i have been a part of. I am down to the show whenever you need a guy for it! — AFK_Racing
Guess I Can Send Some Clips. Mean, I Have Not Been The Best, But I Try, I'll Send You Pics On Messenger. Only Text Though
I am willing if and when you are!
- Hey, that would be cool! If you want to shoot me an email, we can get it started! Trevor@gmsellc.com — rush_racing_league
I'd be interested in doing this, if you want to send along the questions.

- Nice. If you're looking for other people to highlight, you could consider me I guess. Lol. — FeralPatrick
- For sure! Would like to have you as a spotlight. Hit me up with an email and we’ll get it started. — rush_racing_league
I think it's a great idea! This is a great hobby that anyone at any age can get into. From track hosts to builders, there's a ton of stories out there!
