Well you can find it at the park in the audio for Dragster.:P
Besides that, most of us just have it memorized.
And there's usually a way to record sound on some cellphones, but it depends on if your cellphone has the feature or not. If you manage to get the recording, you can usually save it and use it as ring tone.
The only problem is that I don't a cellphone so I'm not entirely sure of how it works. I know, I'm pathetic to not have a cellphone.:)

I wouldn't want the Spiel on my Cellphone, just having it saved on my hard drive is good enough for me. That way I can Just listen to it when I come home from work during the summer and it will pump me up for my next visit to Cedar Point :)
See that's where I am different. Being the fan I am, I want to here it on everything and everywhere!:)
All I need is a cellphone.;)

If I had to guess the whole thing originated on CKLW in Detroit. I remember in or around 1964 they had on that AM station - and was sung by some announcer-
"Sunday - Sunday night wonderful Detroit dragway - dragracing capitol of mid america - nitro burning - smoke burning etc. etc. etc. Sibley at Dicks - SUNDAY" etc. can't remember the rest ??
I've always heard that the original was Jan Gabriel, a Chicago area announcer.
Here's an article I found that has a quick mention and a link to one of the old commercials. http://flakmag.com/sports/cook050627.html
how does one get that on their cell phone?
i have an LG t-mobile piece of crap, but it does support hi fi ring tones...

Sounds logical - I do remember that spike on CKLW ("radio 8 --- ooh in the motor city" was another jingle) and they ran it all the time, about Detroit Dragway and the spiel sounds exactly like the old one on CKLW - if I heard it once I heard it a thousand times back then.
