First you need to select a part that will loop seamlessly. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/au ... ction.html
Try selecting from 1.167 seconds to 2.745 seconds.
Check that it will loop without glitching by pressing Shift+Space. If necessary, zoom in (http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/zooming.html) and adjust the selection as necessary.

Once you have a selection that will loop seamlessly, use the "Repeat" effect. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/repeat.html
Repeat it often enough that you have more than the total length that you need - as it speeds up it will become shorter.

Use the Sliding Time Scale / Pitch Shift effect on the entire track to gradually speed up the track. http://manual.audacityteam.org/o/man/sl ... shift.html
