Cover your ears. It’s going to get LOUD, introducing, Oval Track Racing. This high-octane stock car racing library features cars of various makes, models and performance characteristics in nine divisions circling a quarter mile (.40 kilometer) oval track in Idaho. This track distance is referred to as a ‘short track.’ The sounds were captured from multiple perspectives inside, outside, and alongside the asphalt track with a variety of microphones and recorders. Some cars sound like a sleuth of growling Grizzly bears roaring past. Others, like a swarm of angry bees, let loose all at once. Backfires sound like giant popcorn on the stove. There are shrieking skids and stunning spinouts, plus fender scrapes, tire screeches and high-pitched whines that come from engines meticulously cared for in the pits. There are even onboard recordings that feature the sound of a Street Stock car (1975 Chevrolet Nova), both in the pits and on the track.
