The Distance lyrics
This song makes me want to drive really fast.

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line,
engines pumping and thumping in time.
the green light flashes, the flags go up.
churning and burning, they yearn for the cup.
they deftly maneuver and muscle for rank,
fuel burning fast on an empty tank.
reckless and wild, they pour through the turns.
their prowess is potent and secretly stern.
as they speed through the finish, the flags go down.
the fans get up and they get out of town.
the arena is empty except for one man,
still driving and striving as fast as he can.
the sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
and long ago somebody left with the cup.
but he's driving and striving and hugging the turns.
and thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

he's going the distance.
he's going for speed.
she's all alone
in her time of need.
because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse,
he's going the distance.


no trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
he's haunted by something he cannot define.
bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
assail him, impale him with monster-truck force.
in his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade.
she's hoping in time that her memories will fade.
cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
the sun has gone down and the moon has come up,
and long ago somebody left with the cup.
but he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
and thinking of someone for whom he still burns.

cause he's going the distance.
he's going for speed.
she's all alone
in her time of need.
because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
he's racing and pacing and plotting the course,
he's fighting and biting and riding on his horse.
he's going the distance.
he's going for speed.
he's going the distance.

I know that Eric put together the "Cars" spoof for '06, but that intro music is really good... or it might be good since my kids have seen the movie about a hundred times. :)

Other suggestions that I know have already been used, but are good regardless.

Metallica "Fuel"
Likin Park "In the end"
beginning lyrics of White Zombie "Black Sunshine"

[AI#97]

old school yet aptly appropriate...

Sammy Hagar, "I can't drive 55"....

I will try and dig up a few more from the collection.

[BSharp]

Oops, Prodigy-Firestarter. Edit buttons are gone again.

After THAT post you may be Locked out!!! :shock: Should have plenty of room if you can save me a spot along the pit fence if you get there early friday. I hope to be there around 1pm. That way I can plug into the garage power instead of needing the generator you love so much!!! I only have a 135' cord for it! :wink:

[jeffburch]

Thx,
Do you want next to the wall of the garage or along the chainlink?
I'll set my rig there early Fri. to save.

Along the chain link works great west of the garage that is one group North of where AI/cmc usually pit. Great access to power right there. As long as I can get within 100' of a 15amp plug we should be safe!


Also, another song suggestion is Child's Play, "Day after Night"

Here is a vid that used it once back when I was into drag racing!

www.aggie97.com/dragvid.wmv should be up in about 30 minutes.

[rpoz27]

Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nekInx7DV0o has good lyrics.

Cake "Satan is my motor"
"Stick shifts and safety belts"

[donovan]

Gnarls Barkley "Crazy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nekInx7DV0o has good lyrics.

The intro to that song is awesome!

[mitchntx]

old school yet aptly appropriate...


Old? LOL ... damn kids

Alice Cooper "Under My Wheels"

Telephone is ringing
You got me on the run
Driving in my car
Anticipating Fun.

[mitchntx]

Beach Boys "Shut Down"

It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool shorts standin" side by side
Yeah, my fuel injected Stingray and a four-thirteen
Were revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean

Declinin' numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
My Stingray is light the slicks are startin' to spin
But the four-thirteen's really diggin' in

Superstock Dodge is winding out in low
But my fuel injected Stingray's really startin' to go
To get the traction I'm ridin' the clutch
My pressure plate's burnin' my machine's too much

Pedal's to the floor hear his dual quads drink
And now the four-thirteen's lead is startin' to shrink
He's hot with ram induction but it's understood
I got a fuel injected engine sittin' under my hood

[AI#97]

AC/DC Thunderstruck... Thanks to Mitch there was a youtube link to a GTA in lego and had that song....greatness!

[mitchntx]

Linkin Park
"In the end"

I think it was used on a WRC video a few years back, but it still has a great bed for track vids ...

Stevie Ray Vaughn
"House is a Rockin'"

[mitchntx]

ZZ Top's version of Viva Las Vegas

mmm ... Tawney Katain

Damn ... I am just reliving a great time in life ... before most of you were born ... and when MTV actually played music videos.

[mitchntx]

Sammy Hagar I can't drive 55

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfNATuw1DRs

A couple of you might recall 55 mph speed limits ...

[Wirtz]

Ladies and Gentlemen by Saliva - decent lyrics, maybe at the beginning of the video?

Keep Hope Alive by The Crystal Method - always liked this one, no lyrics so maybe a good background for incar footage when you want to let the engine do the talking.

[AllZWay]

Awesome Guys!

The guys here in the office had "Cake - The Distance" on the server... that one is awesome!!!

Keep it coming!!!
DD

Yep... I first heard that song used as an intro to the inaugural Texas Nascar race... I then bought the CD.

[David Love AI27]

My puter is f@cked up so I can't checkout the songs suggested, but Amber has a song with the lyrics:

"get outta the way, b!tch, get outta the way!!!!"

maybe she will chime in and source it for you guys

[AllZWay]

This old Night Ranger song used to get me going in my teenage years.

Good lyrics for racing.
Night Ranger - Interstate Love Affair

http://www.lyricsdir.com/night-ranger-interstate-love-affair-lyrics.html

[AllZWay]

I found the actual song online.

Stroker Ace, intro is classic.
Charlie Daniels Band
"stroker ace was born to race he had a mean streak 2 ft wide, son of a gun with a taste for fun and more than his share of pride,he could take a dirt road curve with the devil's nerve and make a car dance across the mud and he always knows when the engine blows that a man cant win them all."
blow their doors off stroker, stand on it son.

[jeffburch]

"We crashed the gate doing 98 I said Let Them Truckers Roll 10-4!"

Another vote for Thunderstruck. Another I've always thought would do well in a video: rusty cage by soundgarden. It has some fast sections and some slowed down sections that would do well with stills of drivers, pans of the starting grid, etc.

[donovan]

This is great stuff guys... I'm glad to see so many people making suggestions, this really helps out!

Keep it going!

[Todd Covini]

I'll call mine in or email them separately.
Want to keep a few songs for surprise. 8)

PS- Thanks for doing this, David!!!

[Rob Liebbe]

My 2 cents....

ZZTOP - "Manic Mechanic" from Deguello Album

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/mediaplayer.asp?ean=075992740029&disc=1&track=5

"Show Down - You Bet - and I Haven't Even Saddled My Pony Yet"


and


Stevie Ray Vaughan - "Travis Walk" from In Step Album

http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/mediaplayer.asp?ean=074646587423&disc=1&track=6

fast paced guitar instrumental


Two FINE pieces of TEXAS music for the video.

Sorry these links are only to samples. If someone else can find/provide full length for all to enjoy that would be great.

[AllZWay]

Another good song that kind of fits.

"Tough Enough".... Fabulous Thunderbirds

[Todd Covini]

"My Hero" by Foo Fighters

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVKDQgT_b-Y

<<action>>
camara pans to a slow motion shot of Glenn Landrum strut & swagger across the paddock, with timesheet in hand. He turns to the camara, winks and walks off.

<<chorus>>
There goes my hero...watch him as he goes.

<<and....CUT!>>

[Rob Liebbe]

Uhhhhh - getting even scarier there Todd. Maybe six months back on a super tanker is in order.

[Todd Covini]

Rob,
Those days are long gone.
They went away with my hairline.

[mitchntx]

Meh ... you have a radio. therefore, you didn't really work.

[Rob Liebbe]

Is that a giant beer cooler that Todd is leaning against? No wonder the Valdez crashed......

[AllZWay]

I bet her smeared that grease on his clothes to make it look like he did some work. :lol:
