uh6077 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Never heard of ti but it would be cool to listen to. Looks like they are easy to find on vinyl collector site and on ebay form time to time for around $40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caddyshack Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Never had the one shown, but I have one called "The Big Sounds of Drags" made in the 60's I believe. As kids, we used to turn up the volume, spread the speakers apart as far as they would go, and then listen in stereo as the sounds went from one speaker to the next. The neighbors hated it, but at that age we didn't much care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty_OToole Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 There were quite a few car racing sound effects records made of drag racing and sports car racing in the sixties and possibly the late 50s. I don't know where they all went but there must be a few around somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredKnightfan Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Awesome ... hoped others would be familiar with this.caddyshack: yes, that was done in the 1960s, someone mentioned to me it was originally recorded in 1963 & released in 1964. They weren't sure if that was 100% accurate, tho.Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve"Got my pedal to the metal" __ Sheryl Crow __ 'Real Gone' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Bollman Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I also have the Big Sounds of the Drags album and also one recorded at race tracks (would take awhile to find either). If you really want to blow your mind listen to Big Sounds of the Drags with head phones and have the dragster go from one ear to the other through your head.

DavidAU Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 There is a book titled "In the Red" written by Nick Mason who was the drummer for Pink Floyd and who has a large collection of vintage high performance and race cars. The book comes with a CD of recordings of the different cars on the race track starting up, accelerating and then making high speed passes. The sound of the V16 BRM going past at full throttle is something to behold. Terrifies the other motorists stopped at the traffic lights when you put in the CD player and turn it up full bore.Well worth a listen if you can find a copy.

caddyshack Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 ScarredKnightfanJust got home and found the album. No date that I could find. "The Big Sounds of Drags" Produced by Jim Economides, Album photos by Ed Thrasher, Recording Engineer Bill Robinson, Capital Records ST 2001 (not the recording date). Advertised on the jacket as "featuring everything from the big, blown AA dragsters to the super-stock automatics. Stockers, Roadsters, and the final moments of the Big Eliminations. My jacket is toast from water damage, but the vinyl looks okay. Now all I need is a turntable and stereo. Hope this helps, good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarredKnightfan Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 David,Sure appreciate that link ... was afraid it'd be a bit more expensive than I can handle right now (without a job or income). HOWEVER, I will save that for future reference ... who knows, maybe someday I'll be able to get it!caddyshack,I have a turntable & stereo.

Search "sound effects" and there are albums and single clips with top fuel, and a variety of other racing tracks. I've bought a few and extended that to incude a P-51 Mustang ( the ultimate hot rod). When you set your iPod to shuffle and randomly play music you'll get a quick blast every once in a while from an engine at full bore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
