Hello,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a playlist for slot-car racing? I'm drawing as bit of a blank. There are a few tunes I can hum but do not know any words, the artists or the name of the tune. I'd be very appreciative of any suggestions.
It's for a village tournament I've arranged this weekend. As I have a photo handy at this moment, here's where it'll be:

Other options:
Lowrider by ZZ Top
Detroit Rock City by Kiss (complete with car wreck sound at the end)
Mustang Sally by whichever version you prefer. (best known version by Wilson Pickett, well recorded by The Committments, and my personal fav, a rocking version by Buddy Guy)Touch --> Audio-gd NFB-10SE DAC --> Portal Paladin monoblocks --> Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII
SB2 --> Denon AVR4800 --> Klipsch KG4
SqueezeBox Boom (Bedroom)

This is great! Thanks.
I've also just found the one that's really been bugging me. The theme music for the old BBC Grande Prix or Formula One racing. It's Fleetwood Mac's The Chain from the Rumors album.
This is going to be a great playlist.
