...
He's got a car that goes real fast He's got a life, but it won't last Doesn't even look disturbed When his Chevy takes out the curve He's got a deathwish Coming home is a hit or a miss He's got a deathwish In a self-destructive blitz ... Deathwish, by L7 |

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good I wish I was the full moon shining off your Camaro's hood Pearl Jam -- "Wishlist" |

RUSH - red Barchetta
I strip away the old debris That hides a shining car. A brilliant red Barchetta From a better, vanished time. I fire up the willing engine, Responding with a roar. Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime... Wind- In my hair- Shifting and drifting- Mechanical music- Adrenalin surge... Well-weathered leather, Hot metal and oil, The scented country air. Sunlight on chrome, The blur of the landscape, Every nerve aware. |

Those lyrics are great, all, thanks for posting!
There are lots of songs about drag racing, but not too many about going around turns. I can think of two more: "Dead Man's Curve" by Jan and Dean? This one is perhaps most applicable to autocross, it talks about "pacing the course"! "The Distance" by Cake Reluctantly crouched at the starting line Engines pumping and thumping in time The green light flashes, the flags go up Churning and burning they yearn for the cup They deftly manuver and muscle for rank Fuels burning fast on an empty tank Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns Their prowess is potent and secretly stern As they speed through the finish, the flags go down The fans get up and they get out of town The arena is empty except for one man Still driving and striving as fast as he can The sun has gone down and the moon has come up Not long ago somebody left with the cup But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for who he still burns He's going the distance He's going for speed She's all alone, all alone, all alone in a time of need Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse He's going the distance No trophies, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no lime He's haunted by something he cannot define Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse Assail him and bail him with monster truck force In his mind he's still driving, still making the grade She's hoping in time that her memories will fade 'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse The sun has gone down and the moon has come up Not long ago somebody left with the cup But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns And thinking of someone for who he still burns 'Cause he's going the distance, He's going for speed She's all alone All alone All alone In a time of need Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse He's racing and pacing and plotting the course He's fighting and biting and ridding on his horse He's going the distance He's going for speed He's going the distance |

Respectfully offer for your cosideration, virtually any song off of the Brian Setzer CD: "Ignition"

Bitch'in Camaro by the DKs is number one
Jerry Was A Race Car Driver Jerry was a race car driver And he drove so goddamned fast He never did win no checkered flag But he never did come in last Jerry was a race car driver He'd say "El solo number one" With a posi sticker on his 442 He'd light 'em up just for fun Captain Pierce was a fireman Richmond engine #3 I'll be a wealthy man when I get a dime For all the things that man taught to me Captain Pierce was a strong man Strong as any man alive It stuck in his craw that they made him retire At the age of 65 Jerry was a race car driver 22 years old Had too many comparis one night And wrapped himself around a telephone pole |
