Rare Video - The Great Race - Page 2

Yea lets get back to the real Thread here

I,m trying to find the footage from Hardies Hero's in 1981, This is when they got 2 attempts at the run off and Kevin Bartlett put the Camaro on pole in the wet. I,m looking for the footage of Garth Wigston(V8 Supercar series Steward) when he nearly made an upset on both his laps, he was quickest to the bottom of Conrod( at both attempts) and spun on both times at the last corner.
Can any one help????

It would be great to see the full races from pre 85 put on to DVD

I'm with you Group 'C', welcome to 10-tenths as well

The earliest full race i've got is '84, so i'm after everything before that, including Hardies Heroes. From the review vids those look awesome.

Group'C' · 9 Jan 2002, 11:14 (Ref:195931)

Racer , It looks Like I've found some already
Got talking to this bloke who's moved to Tassie and say's he's got 81 and 82 on Beta format, Im going to get a copy off him and see what it looks like. Hope he can find 83.
He also said he's got complete years of ATCC around the same era

I think I may have 84 as well , just cant find the box I put it in!!
I'll keep in touch about the Quality

If you are looking for any sort of rare motorsport video (particularly popular ones like Bathurst), pull out the yellow pages for your state, and find listings for places like "Video Warehouse" or something similar. There are shops like these all over Australia, which are independant from your rental video store, or any sell-through outlets such as Myer/Coles etc. They stock just about everything - on any topic - not just motorsport.

Cheers!

Thanks for the advise Diabando
The races we are looking for are only available in Highlite packages and we are looking for the full race.
The only way to get this is if somebody taped the days racing

I watched the video you mention back in the 80's and yes the hardies heroes lap by KB was possibly the greatest drive of his career. Can you tell me more on the video IE where was it being sold, who produced it? I have been looking for it for 20 years now.

Geez i've been around here that long

I've not been back to that video shop in years, i could drop in when i next get a chance to see if it is still there....though its likely to be full of DVDs these days

Looked like it was a Channel 7 production (or possibly ATLAB, when did their partnership start?), possibly shown on TV then sold on video at a later date.

PVDA · 13 Jul 2008, 22:26 (Ref:2250343)

Check the Chevron Publishing cattle dog, they sell most of the tapes/DVD's these days.

The video in question was definitely available in the early eighties. I borrowed a copy from the video library in Knox City, Melbourne on a number of occasions. It disappeared off the shelf around 1991.

Other videos that were once available, but are no longer available.

- 1984 James Hardie 1000 (60 minutes)
- 1986 Australian Touring Car Championship (90 minutes)
- 1987 Australian Touring Car Championship

Strangely videos of the 1991 ATCC and the 1992 ATCC were made and sold through Sports Seen (and Duke) in the UK, but never through Chevron locally.

Hi guys. I have got dvd's of bathursts from 1979's onwards, and they are the complete races. The 1979 race even has the pre race entertainment on one of the discs. Most of the races are on 3 discs, plus the top 10 shoot-outs of 1980 - 1985 on one disc.

Interesting, as 2-3 years ago when the Chevron DVDs came out I asked what happened to the 91,92 and 95 season reviews. Good to know 91 and 92 are out there somewhere, despite it being unlikely it will ever see the light of day again.

I've never seen it but apparently a 60min highlights of Bathurst 1983 was produced as well, and i've also seen ads in Auto Action from 1989 advertising a 1988 ATCC season review....

As time went on the sports sections in video shops seemed to slowly disappear (before VHS's totally disappeared from them), but if you went to the right one there were gems to be found. I recall as a youngster finding a video that contained Daytona 500 qualifying races from what must have been the mid-70s, along with some off-road racing on there too...never saw it again of course

I recently purchased and enjoyed the 1990 & 1993 ATCC DVD, so i emailed Chevron and asked how to order the 1991 & 1992 ATCC DVD. They told me that they had never made such a DVD because 7 has lost the footage!

But, if 7 ever find the footage again, they will definitely release the DVD.

7 lost the footage! SO that's the problem.

I remember when those dvds came out and I ordered them right away. I thought 91 and 92 would be a separate dvd at some future point in time. But I believe I was told then that season reviews for those seasons were never done and it would not be worth the bother editing the footage to make a dvd.

I really enjoyed the 1993 season.
