At the very least some snippets of the race still reside at BTQ7 in Brisbane, as they have popped up on Channel 7 productions in Queensland quite a few times.
As far as i know the Chevron DVDs are only licenced to release ABC content, and the ABC most certainly did NOT keep everything, tonnes of stuff has gone.
I would love to know if the 1979 ATCC finale between Brock & Bob Morris is hiding somewhere in the ABC archives
I think the ABC have it. I'm almost certain they did the telecast that year, and never threw anything out, hence all the new Chevron DVDs. I've seen a few seconds of it in another doco, like, a helicopter shot. I just saw the '83 Adelaide ATCC round on youtube, and the '84 Oran Park 250 and Waneroo '83 ATCC round on the new dvd, all excellent stuff!
G'day, so either you're an old coot like me wishing to go back time, or just wanna learn something bout our great touring car history. All I can say is, just hope Chevron will release more dvd classics with more footage from 1980-1984 era. Already theres 5 volumes, but last one have 4 great races from early 80s. If you're a big tin-top fan, I suggest go and buy it. Those were the days when Brock, Grice, Johnson, Masterton, Goss, Fury, Bartlett, Jim Richards and many more were the big names...

Channel 7 televised the 1981 ATCC finale.
