Hello and welcome to what looks like being a very exciting race today

Among the top drivers are Noddy Holder of the Brahms and Lizst Cup

His team mate is one of Britain's Whildest fellows, James Lea. Let's hope his accident record can be overcome today. And now, just coming down the straight in the all familiar black and gold colours, Dave Hill, one of motor racing's true Super

Yob's. His team mate is Don Powell. And my goodness me from where I'm sitting it looks as though they're ready to explode!

Driver:

Sitting here in my mean machine - I'm ready to explode

Looking out of my helmet at the faces

I been wondering all night long, If I will live or die...yeh

It's always the same before the races

Commentator:

I got some hot line information about the man who's occupation

Is driving the cars. Standing out there on the grid

And it's a kind of fascination and it demands full concentration

The kind of a job we all dreamed of as a kid

Driver

I can see on the track ahead, the heat is rising high

Gotta win for the team and it's never easy

I been feeling the butterflies, strapped into my seat...yeh

And already the tension's getting to me

Commentator:

We're waiting in anticipation for some official indication

They're ready to go. Revving up and hit the road

Cos it's another big occasion and there won't be no relaxation

They're ready to go and they're Ready To Explode

You're gonna drive 'em round the bend

Have a go on the chicane

Gonna drive 'em round the bend

Without a warning...

Ready now to explode

Commentator:

And now the cars are on the grid and it looks like today's conditions

Couldn't be better for a great race. We're just waiting for the starter

Mr Slade to give the O.K. There goes the green light and they're off!

Who's gonna be the big sensation. Who'll be the champion of the nation

In one of them cars standing out there on the grid

He's gonna get a big ovation. Be the champion of the nation

The kind of a thrill we all dreamed of as a kid

I don't wanna break down and I wanna explode

Don't lemme break down Don't lemme break down

Don't lemme break down

I wanna explode - I wanna explode - I wanna explode - I wanna explode

Driver

Ever since I was just thirteen I had a crazy reoccuring dream

To be faster than the speed of sound

It was the only way to get around...oh yeh

Speeding in my dreams - Speeding in my dreams

Seventeen and I passed my test, never settling for second best

I knew right away what I'd like - It was a 750 motorbike...oh yeh

Speeding in my dreams - Speeding in my dreams

Oh yeh...Oh yeh...Oh yeh

I was living for speed

L..L..L..Living for speed

I was living for

I was living for speed...

Explode...explode...
