I think the song is Lotus 23, the band is The Revells and the racer in question is Dan Gurney.

Not a bad guess, but wrong on both counts

Still not about Dan

Walt Hansgen?

Otto Puzzell · September 24, 2010, 03:38:27 PM

Are we just naming racing drivers here, or is there a record label with Walt's name on it?

Otto Puzzell · September 25, 2010, 07:41:04 AM

And, no, it's not Walt Hansgen

Otto Puzzell · October 01, 2010, 05:49:58 AM

I'm not sure you boys are really giving this everything you've got.

Otto Puzzell · October 03, 2010, 07:23:07 AM

Geez - I'm not sure how to be more obvious with a clue.

Maybe we should play hangman?

pnegyesi · October 08, 2010, 07:03:25 AM

Are we talking about a racer or a band from Beaumont, Texas?

Otto Puzzell · October 08, 2010, 10:12:10 AM

Nope - but thanks for considering the clue.

What name do many people associate with Mr. Beaumont?

Ray B. · October 08, 2010, 10:17:52 AM

Beaver?

Otto Puzzell · October 08, 2010, 11:09:42 AM

I don't think anyone called him that...

Allemano · October 08, 2010, 11:12:39 AM

pnegyesi · October 08, 2010, 11:54:59 AM

That elusive band was called The Eliminators (band no4), sponsored by Rodger Ward - two times Indy 500 winner. And the song is Move out Lotus (car No 6)

Otto Puzzell · October 08, 2010, 12:04:54 PM

Yay! Ward Cleaver (Beaver's dad) was the clue.

I'll upload a file of the song tomorrow.

Allemano · October 08, 2010, 12:13:24 PM

Excuse my laughter. I believed Ray's reply was only a joke, but after reading some background infos I have to admit it was a quite educated guess!

pnegyesi · October 09, 2010, 01:36:43 PM

And now onto the last one. Artist no10, hmm, was he most famous in the 1980s?

Otto Puzzell · October 10, 2010, 02:48:05 AM

I'm not sure he was ever famous.

pnegyesi · October 10, 2010, 02:50:11 AM

Is the song related a particular NASCAR track?

Otto Puzzell · October 10, 2010, 03:02:50 AM

Nope

pnegyesi · October 10, 2010, 03:15:44 AM

Is it about NASCAR racing in general?

Otto Puzzell · October 10, 2010, 03:17:37 AM

Yes

pnegyesi · October 10, 2010, 03:20:14 AM

Is this a song from the 1980s? I mean, even if it is a cover, was this recorded by this artist in the 1980s?

Otto Puzzell · October 10, 2010, 03:21:26 AM

I believe it is newer than that. Not a cover, either.

pnegyesi · October 10, 2010, 03:29:41 AM

Was it played at the races at the time?

Ray B. · October 10, 2010, 03:49:57 AM

No problemo Allemano. I just remembered that Otto had a soft spot for this show, I believe.
