NHRA needs a new theme song,

ok we need some suggestions for a theme song.

Last year was arleady hypocritical enough playing the "Go hard or go home" song with the countdown in place but now with the qualifying deal it appears go hard or go home is false advertising and we can't have that.


So lets here it what theme song should they play.

I sure do miss him! When I worked at Billy Bob's, we always had soooo much fun with the band & crew. It was a hell of a show, especially when he would ride the mechanical bull during "For Your Love".

If we could just change "8 Second Ride" to "4 Second Ride" we would be in bidness!!! heeheheee!

This was just for fun.

no no, one campaign at a time. Ya gotta admit though the moves over the past year are against the historical run what ya brung, go hard or go home type of mantra that most racers tend to live by. Maybe we should have Stewart Smalley get involved. That way everybody will feel ok. You don't have to be a fast car to qualify, you don't have to have the most points to win a championship. See I was gonna try to go with the flow on this one and see how it works out but the more I see I just don't like it.

I think in lieu of a song, they would be best off with George Carlin as their TV Spokesman. He's pretty good at seeing through and exposing bullsh--

Re: NHRA needs a new theme song,

This is our team them song. I'm sure we might be able to loan it out:

YouTube - Laurence Juber "If I Only Had A Brain"

The way Laurence plays it, it makes you feel good about not having a brain.

Re: NHRA needs a new theme song,

Last time I seen the man, he had two drummers, his son being the 2nd. I wondered about his health then, the show was much shorter than I had seen a couple years before. We listen to his music every time we go on a road trip.


And yeah...he was the model for the working man's musician.

As Garth says on his live album "God bless Chris Ledoux"
