Oh we made a “oran park soundtrack” last yaer -it consisted of 3 Cd’s and had justin timberlake, Kill hannah, Billy idol, Queen, Matchbox 20, The almost, underoath, robbie williams, AFI, MCR…

however, it was mostly just our “fave” songs at the time

personally at that point the music is off and i am madly trying to tune all the radios into the track station!. that i am getting to get out of the car and run in to the track ( excitement kicks in!)

great thread and idea Leanne ! Speed is certainly a walk up start, i agree. My other personal “to the track” faves:…”The Race” - Yello,,”Know your enemy” - Rage against the Machine,” Woke up this morning” - Sopranos Theme, “Jump” - Van Halen and the usual classics like “Kryptonite” - 3 Doors down
“Hitchin a ride” - Green Day, Holy Grail and of course… the essential “King of the Mountain”.

get your motor running, get out on the highway, looking for adventure or whatever comes my way, born to be wild. what a great track, now that is a terrific theme song, don’t ya think

“going ths distance” is also a fav race song.

i tend to like the songs that the tv network puts the ads and v8 clips to like “le disko” by shiney toy guns

and then to remember Peter Brock, i throw on “heroes” by david bowie.

but yeah, “born to be wild” , “flower” by moby, “thunderstruck” acdc, “free bird” by lynard skynard (man that instrumental is MENTAL!) um, and what others have said are TOPS!

i heard this song on my daughters ipod the other day. it was called the takeaway song. who sings it god knows, but i can you it so catchy that you will sing it all day long

here are just a few of the words, someone may know who sings it

a pizza hut a pizza hut kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut
a pizza hut a pizza hut kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut
mcdonalds, mcdonalds, kentucky fried chicken and a pizza hut

now shake shake to the right now shake it to the left now shake

after hearing that song just once, mind you, it was stuck in my head all day. god i hate that.

Hey I know that song Donna!ur right it is rather catchy!!They were playing that song when I was a kid…LOL
I think WE r the champions by Queen would have to be in there and as someone else suggested Fuel by Metallica…

maybe jamie and all the ford fellas, can sing that to all the holden drivers, too put them off their racing lol

yeah going the distance.. i also recon sabotage by the beastie boys. also there is this old song i got from marcos ambrose’s web page a few years ago called “blue oval reigns forever”. its lame but really cute and sung to the tune of gloria, that chrissy carol.

I dunno what happened, I am sure I commented on this thread but I might not’ve pressed the “submit” button.
Anyway Leanne , the Billy Idol song is a goodn, infact anythn from Billy is good.
I like the song from Golden Earing, I cant remember the name but the lyrics go somethin like” I been drivin all night with my hand set on the wheel” do do dodo do do, you know the one im talkn about?.

i know what you mean darren, i swear that i put up a thread last week, but then it wasnt there, dont know if it was me or the site having kittens? prob me!

Do you mean “Radar Love” Darren?? Cause that is a pretty cool song! An oldie though, that’s for sure

And I guess Stephanie and Lindy mean “The Distance” by Cake?? That was such an awesome album! “Race Car Ya Ya’s” is a beauty as well, and probably quite fitting

“Pretender” - Foo Fighters… sure not original as it was the V8 theme song last year but it gets the blood pumping as I can see the pictures in my head at the same time…

Always play it hitting Panorama Ave even on the way to work….
Excitement dies down when i see the mount empty though.

Oh yes, the old Pretender by foo fighters…… i recomend only having this down low, cos today on my lunch break i managed to loose 3 points and a $150 fine by having this song blaring.
So very not cool, expensive way to go see my sister for lunch.

I reckon “danger zone” is pretty good, although its more jets it can still work for the v8s lol. And anything good charlotte is pretty awesome I loved it when they played them all throughout the v8s last year. I agree “pretender” is a pretty awesome song!!

Most of the test day i had “life is a highway” in my head!! =) lol

Psychopomp by The Tea Party. I liked the Good Charlotte songs Ch 7 used last year too.

“Learn To Fly” by the Foo Fighters

Most songs by Wolfmother….

For some reason, I’ve always associated “All Fired Up” by Pat Benetar with motorsport - so on the last part of the journey to the track, it’s usually that or “Playing to Win”.

And the song that was on the Honda ad a few years back - with the samples of the F1 car? Haven’t a clue what it was called.
