Sounds of Funny Car

Written by Sheila Scarborough · March 30, 2008

Listen at the track lately? (courtesy steveleenow at Flickr’s Creative Commons)If you miss being at the track, I’ve tried to capture some of the sounds for you.

A new service called Utterz allows users to record and upload audio and video files; most conveniently from a cell phone, but other digital files work, too.

Today in Houston at the NHRA Spring Nationals, I used my cell phone to call into Utterz, then hold the phone up and record the sounds of a Round One Funny Car matchup between John Force and “Fast Jack” Beckman.

Once the call was complete, I hung up, went back to my laptop in the press room and found the new audio file in my Utterz profile. I tagged it, titled it and added the photo I used in yesterday’s Spring Nats post.

Click the link below, press the little orange play button and away you go:

Force v. Beckman in NHRA drag racing.

I should have mentioned on the phone that Force won this round. :)
