Slot Car Racing Music

Sound material about slot car racing

Sound material about slot car racing is not new. An analogue 33 1/3 rpm mono sound recording was released in 1965. The record was called "The Go Sound of the Slots" (Burbank, Calif., Reprise).
If you are interested in slot car curiosities than you can buy now two records: "The Exiting Sound of Model Road Racing" of The Phantom Surfers and "Slot Car Slut" of Kaleidoscope.

The Phantom Surfers - The Exiting Sound of Model Road Racing

Hobby Hut Raceways and Lookout Records proudly present "The Exciting Sound of Model Road Racing" by the Phantom Surfers. This record is the only one with music that is filed under "Slot Cars". This is the music for the incredible underground subculture of the slot car racer according to the band.

Recorded by race friends

In 1997 a group of race friends have recorded the sound of slot car racing. The music can be described as typical west-coast music. There are no real lyrics. The spoken words are inarticulate.
Some of the words are: "Welcome to the exciting world of slot car racing. The Sounds. The feel. The drama. Slot car racers want their own sound. The west-coast sound. When the Christmas tree turns green…Go Go Go…"

Tracks

The names of some titles are Everybody Up, Death of a Rookie, Slotter on 10th Avenue, Crossover Tragedy, A Slot Car Named Desire, Turn Marshal and Final Lap.
If you listen to this record you will wonder which equipment was used, because the quality of the sound is very poor.

Kaleidoscope – Slot Car Slut

The Australian rock group Kaleidoscope has recorded in 2000 a short play album called "Slot Car Slut". The title song is about a girl with a fetish for hanging out at the slot car track with the boys.
A female vocal sings the words "She's a pretty little fashion trap / Funky shoe with a broken strap / Hanging out with the guys down at the track / It's something that she can't explain / Little men in cars driving her insane / … / Breathing heavy / Got your trigger finger ready / Breathing heavy / Get your slot car ready /But you don't know what you've lost / And when she races to the top / You know her engines running hot / She is a slot car slut".

Kaleidoscope is a pretty good rock group

Kaleidoscope is a pretty good rock group with strong guitar chords and powerful drumming. The song Slot Car Slut is also available on the newest album ("Deli Girl") of the band. For more information and a track demo you can check out the web-site of Kaleidoscope, www.kaleidoscopemusic.com.au.
