Song Description
I Love Nitro Burnig racecars that do the Quarter mile in less than 5 seconds. 0-100 mph in less than one second. As my favorite girl once said "if you can turn you ain't going fast enough". The NHRA on TV has a girl singing some kind of country song that just doesn't get it. These cars have 8000 horse power and give the driver 6 g's of force when they hit the throttle. The ground shakes your chest pounds and it registers as a 2.0 on the richter scale from 2 miles away. A country song is for NASCAR. NHRA Drag racing needs a rock song. So this is my song. My vision was to use it under video footage each week on the telecast. Let me know what you think.

Lyrics
Alrighty race fans its Friday night and we're all starting even
You can put the last race on the shelf
I can see all the fans are here and they're rooting for those they believe in,
Ya know I've got the fever myself
The pits are like a sea of rigs, the circus is here, it's time to put on a show...
Bring the cars to the starting line you can't expect to win if you don't leave on time
Chorus
Keep it in the groove
That's what you need to do
When the light drops down it all depends on you
Keep it in the groove that's all you have to do
Don't let the tires shake your mind. You know this track has a narrow line
And if the tires smoke you gotta pedal through Keep it in the groove
Welcome back race fans its Sunday morning
You can feel the high voltage and smell the nitro in the air
The qualifying has been just the lead in
There's still a Wally waiting out there
The first pair is at the starting line, you can see their eyes in their helmets you know their hearts are pounding. And they're ready to go...
Spirits of the past are here. We feel their strength and show no fear
Chorus
Tension building in the staging lanes, ground pounding thunder and the four foot flames
Chi-Town Hustler in a cloud of smoke
You only get one chance to get it right its do or die
We live our lives in ΒΌ mile with no regrets and baby no denial
The race is on when the light turns green
You gotta hit it full throttle hit it full throttle hit it full throttle hit it....
Keep it in the Groove
That's what you need to do
If the tree goes red your racing day is through
Keep it in the groove that's all you have to do
So much depends upon your crew you trust your life in the work they do
Will you be champ or just another hired shoe?
Keep it in the groove
