Hi,

My name is Mark, living in the Netherlands and a collector of motor racing dvds.

I've spent the last few years looking for races (be it NASCAR, dirt track racing, F1 or any other kind of racing). Ultimately I'd like to create some kind of library of racing videos. For now I try to collect as many old races as possible (and record quite a lot of races myself).

Living in Europe doesn't make collecting dirt track races easier - not even a single event was on TV last year! High profile US series like NASCAR and IndyCar aren't either...

Anyway, my question is, who here is in the posession of old dirt track races (or oval racing in general) on DVD and is willing to exchange these? I have the most interest in original TV broadcasts. Ofcourse i'll send something in return!

My full list of races (in MS Excel format) are available at my website: http://motorracingvideoarchive.com/list/

Here's a rundown of what I think is the most interesting dirt track-wise:

Slick 50 Sprint Car World Series 1993 Canyon Raceway (TNN, 1h11)
USAC Silver Crown 1981 Eldora Four Crown Nationals (ESPN, 28m)
USAC Silver Crown 1985 Eldora (Home Video?, 23m)
USAC Championship Car 1963 Langhorne (ESPN2, 23m)
USAC Championship Car 1966 Langhorne (ESPN2, 23m)
USAC Championship Car 1970 State Fairgrounds Tony Bettenhausen 100 (ABC, 1h05 LIVE)
USAC Championship Car 1970 Indiana State Fairgrounds Hoosier 100 (ABC, 1h00 LIVE)
USAC Championship Car 1982/3 Illinois State Fairgrounds Tony Bettenhausen 100 (ABC, 2h16 LIVE)
USAC Sprint Cars 1977 Eldora (ABC WWOS, 35m)
USAC Sprint Cars 1980 Terre Haute (ESPN, 1h13)
USAC SPrint Cars 1980 Eldora Twin 50s (Jerry Clum, 53m)
USAC SPrint Cars 1981 Eldora (ABC, 36m)
USAC Sprint Cars 1981 Terre Haute Hut 100 (ESPN, 1h10)
USAC Sprint Cars 1985 Terre Haute Hulman Classic (ESPN, 1h12)
WoO 1987 Devil's Bowl (TNN, 10m)

If there are any questions, let me know.

Yours,
Mark

I don't have any videos to trade, but here's a link to Greg Stephens' videos.

He has some great ones available.

No matter where you go, there you are.

Thanks for the reply.

I've sent him a message, he shot everything himself back in the day. I am actually looking for TV broadcasts only (makes it easier for me to find out whats going on) but thanks for the help anyway.

National Sprint Car Hall of Fame may be of some help to you. Check the store on the web site. Good Luck.
