Just thought some people might get a chuckle out of this song by comedian Bill Maynard. It was the theme song of my local speedway when I was growing up back in the U.K.

Here is the link

flmao.hey sivlerstone did the cars turn left or right? if left did they allow the driver to move the seat placement or did they have to sit on the right hand side? ps print the lyrics to the course please, the above questions were assuming your speedway was an oval. on a sadder note it is to bad that so little attention has been paid to the death of the worlds greatest rally driver ,Colin McRae show those angels how to turn right too,R.I.P.

The track was an oval, they keep the seats on right hand side (correct side) of the car, and they run clockwise (the right way!!)
I'm not going to type the lyrics, but I will see if I can find them somewhere and post them for you. (the accent is a little strong eh!)

Thanks for the info about Colin, I hadn't heard. R.I.P. Colin.

;D ;D ;D

Thats awesome...and belongs in every track's sound byte collection.

I found it hard to understand in places as well. I don't know if its so much the accent as it is the recording. Probably a little of both.

Anyway, check out the whole website....they have videos up too. Second video down...check out the guy getting out of his car and jumping the fence while the race is still on.

Ive managed to find the lyrics, here goes:

Whatever number we support, we are fans of the greatest sport,
Stock car racing is magic. (purp)
North, south, east or west, whatever the formula ours is best,
Stock car racing is magic. (purp, purp)
When the fans all congregate you'll see no city slickers,
Just friendly folk displaying all their badges and their stickers,
And one or two we've heard about have numbers on their knickers!!
Stock car racing is magic. (purp, purp.)
White top to superstar, win or lose it's wunderbar,
Stock car racing is magic. (purp)
There's crowds and noise and fumes and dust and every meeting is a must,
Stock car racing is magic. (purp, purp)
When the cars are on the rolling lap and the amber light is flashing,
Get ready for the green and the sound of engines thrashing,
And hope it's not our favourite who's gonna get a bashing,
Stock car racing fans are magic. (purp, purp)
do do dum do ...
When the winner takes the chequered flag and he's on his lap of honour,
We all give him a (purp) though our own man car's a gonna,
'Cause we know that in the pits, there are thousands working on her,
Stock car racing is
Stock car racing is
Stock car racing is (purp, purp, purp,) ...
MAGIC!

For those of you who are wondering, the Air horn thing is a British tradition at short track racing.
