 The Idle Race - Free Music Downloads, Videos, Lyrics, CDs, MP3s, Bio, Merchandise and Links
The Idle Race itself evolved out of one of the most promising of local early-'60s Birmingham bands, Mike Sheridan & the Nightriders, who recorded for EMI and later for Polydor and whose membership included a young Roy Wood.
Jeff Lynne was offered the chance to replace Trevor Burton in the Move, but he refused, preferring to remain with the Idle Race, where he took on a still greater role in the shaping of the group's sound, co-producing their next few singles.
Most people, in speaking of the Idle Race, are referring to the group as it existed during the years 1966-1969 with Lynne in the lineup.

For the Jeff's negative answer, Roy come back again after Idle race finished their secon album with the same proposal to Jeff, but as a last resort, because Carl Wayne had leaves The Move and Roy needs soon a new vocalist, in this case the answer was affirmative.
After the Lynne's leaves, Idle Race, live for a little time and Pritchard, Spencer and Masters, decided to rejoin the group with two new members, they were: DAVE WALKER (later would be a vocal of Fleetwood Mac) y MIKE HOPKINS.
IDLE RACE, was considerated like a cult group, like The Move and Moody Blues at the '60 in Birmingham.

 race-dezert.com - 22RE Won't idle down at stop?
When I come to a stop or any where when the motor should be idling,sometimes the engine won't idle down.If that makes sense.I don't know if could be a O2 sensor?Fuel filter.With 228,+++ miles it runs great,idles smooth,but it just started doing this today.Maybe one of the Yota people have ocurred this problem.
When I had my yota the idle would go up to 1200 RPM with the A/C on.
When i would slowly let off the gas it would idle at like 2000 but if i stabbed the throttle quick there would be enough spring to allow the throttle to close.

 Idle Race
The lack of chart success for the Idle Race despite critical acclaim remains a mystery, especially as the band were no strangers to radio and TV appearances.
A music press article on the Idle Race in 1969 quoted Jeff Lynne as being disillusioned about the bands' lack of chart success and this was further reinforced by the poor sales of the Idle Race's second self-titled album released in November of 1969 on which Lynne himself had handled the production.
The other members of Idle Race were naturally disappointed with Lynne's decision but decided to carry on with replacements Mike Hopkins, formerly of the Diplomats and The Lemon Tree, on guitar/vocals and Dave Walker from The Redcaps on vocals & harmonica.

 Alliance 'Draenei' are the latest race to join World of Warcraft - Idle Forums
A new Alliance race for World of Warcraft has been announced on Blizzard's official site and the lucky race is...
According to WoW lore, the Draenei are descendents of the demonic Eredar race with a messianic hatred of all things orc, and form one of the three groups of inhabitants on Draenor (the place where most of the Burning Crusade action takes place) together with ogres and orcs.
There's a nice symmetry there with the blood elves, they're a demon-ish race that's taken to holy magic and joined the alliance, while the blood elves are a good-ish race that's taken to demonic magic and gone with the horde.

 No idle on race bikes???? - Dirt Rider . Net, Dirt Bikes - Motocross - Off-Road - Supercross
i asked him why it doesnt idle and he told me that there is no reason for the bike to have an idle since its a race bike and the idle just builds up carbon and causes top end power loss.
If you are idling around the track, then I don't think carbon build-up and top end power loss are too much of a concern to you.
When someone's bike won't idle, and they tell you "it performs better that way", or "it prevents carbon buildup and spooge", what they are really telling you is "I don't know how to jet properly to get it to idle cleanly".

 Idle Race - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In addition to being the springboard for a very young Jeff Lynne, the band holds a place of significance in Midlands rock history as a link between Electric Light Orchestra, The Move, the Steve Gibbons Band and Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders.
During this period, Idle Race was also -- as one member later termed it -- a very "schizophrenic" band.
A new, 5-disc Idle Race box set is in the works and rumoured to be available in 2006.

Vapor Lock usually occurs at idle, stop and go driving, or after the engine is shut down.
The Race Pump is insulated from the engine by a heatshield/gasket that installs between the pump and the engine block.
Some of the big block Corvettes that were known for high under hood temperatures had a bleed line that allowed a small amount of fuel to flow back to the tank constantly.

The Idle Race is a band of the late 1960s containing the top tunesmith of Jeff 'ELO' Lynne.
The group also briefly included his mate Roy Wood, but he soon legged it to form The Move in 1965 (the Idle Race covered Roy's Lemon Tree song and wanted it to be a single until The Move released it first!).
I am a big fan of ELO tunes and the Idle Race is a pre-cursor to these both in sophistication and chronology.

 Electric Light Orchestra - Overview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
But to begin at the beginning, The Idle Race were a creative little pop band, who strangely never had any hits.
The Idle Race would go on to do a third album with more of a folk-music feel, called Time Is, as well as a few post-Lynne singles, but the band never did become famous and eventually folded.
Around the time that Lynne left the Idle Race, the Move were once again looking for a guitarist.

 The Idle Race (Self Titled Album)
The album may have lacked the lavish gatefold packing of their first lp but was equally if not more impressive in content than the first, resplendid with a moody band portrait.
The Idle Race instead, offered a set in which ballads such as "The Girl at the Window", "Please No More Sad Songs", and "Sea Of The Dreams" were more reminiscent of mid period
More importantly, and of course in hindsight, the second Idle Race album bore the sonic seeds that were to germinate and develop into the 'eventual sound' that the world would come to recognise as that of the Electric Light Orchestra.

 The Traveling Wilburys - Jeff Lynne
He impressed his fellow band members with his stunning guitar technique and proved to be a good singer and harmonizer, too.
The band subsequently changed their name to The Idle Race and made Jeff their front man. The Idle Race released two albums, The Birthday Party (1968) and Idle Race (1969) plus a couple of singles, but never made it big.
In 1970 Jeff Lynne left the band in order to join The Move, accepting Roy Wood's invitation, who promised his friend Lynne to launch a new project, called The Electric Light Orchestra, which had been on his mind for a couple of years.

 Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: I
The Idle Race seem to have been consigned to a strange, forgotten corner of UK psych, which is doubly odd as they were not only a perfectly good band, but also the first recording home of future ELO man Jeff Lynne.
Their debut effort, The Birthday Party, is a really rather good little typical psych-pop album, with all the period detail you could ask for, married to an excellent selection of songs.
Incidentally, the Idle Race's entire recorded output is available on a double CD set, Back to the Story (***½), which is almost certainly the easiest way to track this material down.

 SongBook / A Message From The Country - The Jeff Lynne Years, 1968-1973   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
This is a handy collection of some of the earliest recorded works by my favorite performer/songwriter in all of rock 'n' roll, Jeff Lynne of ELO fame.
Even in the late 60's tunes he wrote for his band Idle Race, it's easy to hear the Lennon/McCartney influences - actually no so much easy to hear them, but impossible to miss them.
Still, while much of the Move and ELO music on this album can be heard elsewhere (and, indeed, are reviewed elsewhere here), the Idle Race songs are truly well-crafted for their time, and considering that Lynne was just venturing into songwriting.
