There was a compactus in the admin office building full of various types of video tapes including 1 inch broadcast tape (there was a player to view them as well) from various Calder Park Dome, Flat Track and Drag Racing events from the 80's and 90's, I grabbed some of the highlights stuff and put them on DVD's that we ran on the big screen in the canteen and had intentions of doing more in my own time when I was a paid official at Calder for a couple of years but Bob went through one of his shutting the joint down periods and I have not been back since so no idea if that stuff has survived as it has to be something like 15 years ago now. Would be great if it still all exists if it can be found and digitised.

We need someone like Greg rust or Leigh diffey to commentate over the footage
Leigh was the best the sport ever had
Great footage but it just goes to show how much the commentators add to the atmosphere
Very true!
