Tailgating music
I need to hear from the fans again....all of you who have ever tailgated at NASCAR races, what is your favorite tailgating music? Sweet Home Alabama is too easy, but it's most appropriate at Talladega. Thanks for your time and help.

Going to the track:
"Hot Rod Lincoln" Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, earlier versions by obscure country guys are also cool.
"Roadrunner" Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers, live bootlegs by Sex Pistols and Wire also available.
"Alabama Getaway" The Grateful Dead. You can get almost all of the live Dead recordings on iTunes, so you can pick the performance you like (I'm not partial to the synth solo on the studio version, myself).
"Hwy61 Revisited" Bob Dylan, most often while actually driving on Hwy61. (MN resident, don'cha know).
"Maybelline" Chuck Berry.
"Thunder Road" Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street band. "Racin' in the Streets" is kinda slow and sad, and too obvious anyway (I might put it on the going home mix).

Going Home:
(see Springsteen note above)
"The Wheel" good ol' Grasteful Dead. I like a long and spacey version.
Fleetwood Mac's "Kiln House"-the whole album 'cause by this point I don't want to bother with thinking anymore.

I like to listen to techno music while tailgating. When I'm dancing around in my thong it just feels right.
