How about "Hot rod Lincoln" By Commander Cody. That  ought to get things started!

 

Here's a great version of that song:

 

[bluecars]

If you like King of the SlotCar Track, you'll love these. Songs by "The Weird-Ohs". They are songs about Big Daddy Roth's Revell monster hot rods such as Huey's Hut Rod, Digger, Flameout Freddie, etc.

[CoastalAngler1]

Great - "Digger the Dragster", The Weird-Ohs - dedicated to bluecars

 

How 'bout "Monster Mash", Bobby Picket - dedicated to Ed Roth?

[bluecars]

Thanks Charlie, I had the album of Silly Surfers on one side and Weird-Ohs on the other. Got it when I was 11 or 12 and kept it until the wife took the records some years ago. I'm 62 so I kept it a long time. Wish I still had it. Couldn't listen to it without smiling. It might even be worth something. LOL Also my firs slot car was Revell's Rat Fink Lotis. Should have never taken it out of the box. Wasn't much of a car but it got me started. Still at it 50 years later.

1966, for whatever reason I remember a particular song being played on the radio in those days. Whenever I was driving to the slot car track, it seemed this song invariably would be playing on the radio.

 

I like the beat of the song (the words have nothing to do with racing but the music seemed to fit racing). I believe this rock song was one of the first to use a lot of brass/trumpet and the guitar solo reminds me of surfing music.

Amazing! - we will honor your memories Keith - song dedicated to your days at Rolling Hills!

 

The videos hopefully will pick up the music...gotta make sure to test that! 

 

bluecars - I forgot about the old vinyl - now I remember some of them had albums on both sides, Nice!

 

You guys spark great ideas - after all the work to download 100 songs to a thumbdrive it will be easy to duplicate them.  

Each racer and guests in attendance will receive one in their goodie bag!

Gotta have some Dick Dale....

I like the black eyed peas rendition (well, Fergie is Hot!): 

[Gary Bluestone]

How about Mercury Blues written in 1949 and covered many times, I like the David Lindley version.   , but there are other versions to choose from.

[CoastalAngler1]

Oh no, when the owner of that yellow '49 Mercury #78 in my avatar sees this, he just might get a new favorite song - Thanks Gary!

 

"Mercury Blues" by David Lindley, dedicated to Gary Bluestone! 

[NSwanberg]

Oh hell yeah! More psychobilly is what we all need!

 

Come to Downriver Speedway in Lincoln Park Michigan. You will think time stopped somewhere about 1968.

Great song.

 

Steppenwolf - Born to be wild

 

Radar Love - Golden Earring

I was going to suggest Radar Love, but as I suspected, it came around later. 1973

 

If we're out of that 65-69 era, you have to go with the original rock 'n roll song;

The 65-69 years are cool, but now the vintage music list is wide open for any year favorites - if automotive even better!

(I'll update the spreadsheet tomorrow am, thanks everybody!)

 

PRNDL?

This one is much better:
