Music before a race?

[Matt Steele]

Just wondering who listens to music while focusing/meditating/relaxing (or pumping yourself up, if that’s your thing.) before a race?

If so, what’s your music of choice?

I personally prefer Miles Davis.

[Bernard Muminovic]

Trance!

[tony zambos]

+1 for Miles, but on the way to or from the track.

LAD Specialties customer / tony kart / rotax / kt100

I listen to the Star Spangled Banner.  Over and Over and Over again.

"Karting Expert Since 2015"

[Bob Baldwin]

The ONLY way to RELAX at the track is to PLUG in a tape by the BEST Songstress EVAH !!!

MISS  JANIS JOPLIN !!!

Our theme song on the way to the track is “Superfreak” by Rick James.

We also like to listen to all the hard hitting MJ hits like “Dirty Diana”, “Billie Jean”, “PYT”, “Thriller”, “Smooth Criminal” etc. And that’s what we name our Leopard engines after.

I have my own 80 song playlist on my iPod that I have titled “Battle Soundtrack” to get me pumped up on the way to the track or before I go out. Lots of really soaring anthemic rock stuff, some self-motivational-no-one-can-touch-me hip-hop and other things.

[Peter Zambos]

No need. There is no music better than the sound of my engine turning over.

[Mike Clark]

Just getting ready the days before & getting up in the morning does. It is the ritual I guess.

Any music I like will do:

I like this video as far as driving. Something about it just gets me going:

We race near the end of the cycle of classes. Plenty of time to hear the sounds and smell the castor. Plus the track plays music over the P.A.

[Byron Rothenhoefer]

Lamb of God!

Stock Honda 13

[David Cole]

Blaney, I knew you would remember that.

A lifelong albulm playlist that I heard going to the racetrack year after year

Styx – Pieces of Eight
Eagles – Hotel California
Eagles – On the Boarder
Alabama – Can’t remember but it was mostly 80s songs
Def Leppard – Hysteria
Blues Brothers – Briefcase Full of Blues

Others have been added, but anytime I hear those songs, I think of the trips to the track with the family.

Early morning, while driving to the track with my son

Eyes Of The World

[johnny brooks]

+1 Grateful Dead – 1st choice

Bluegrass – close 2nd

[Craig Drabik]

+1 to KMFDM, plus Frontline Assembly and Fear Factory for me.

[Jim Derrig]

I’m usually on the road about 6:00 a.m., so its classical music for the first hour or so.

Then a wide variety of thumping guitar stuff.  Hendrix, Cream, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, etc.

Sorry, no 1980’s hair bands.

[Mark Erpelding]

Come feel the Noise..   Quiet Riot!!!  I can’t Drive 55  Sammy

After the Race-  “We are the Champions”

[Rhonda Mims-Brown]

Good selection, David Cole…we would get along well on the road.

My favs always in my head during a race are taken from the Top Gun soundtrack:

Playin’ with the Boys & Danger Zone

This was especially so when we raced the Air Force base in Las Vegas – pretty cool watching the Blue Angels do fly overs while on the track as well!
