Default Vintage Calgary racing footage

My Dad used to do some racing at Shepherd Raceway around the period of this video. He helped build an altered that competed there. The video quality is bad and apparently the track was never great either. Enjoy

Thanks,for that! Just wasted a lot of time of watching a bunch of Shepard and Race City footage...It's amazing that back then you had to pack a lunch and drive way out of the city to get there,now that area is considered "inner city".For those wondering,the Shepard track is now buried under a major highway interchange,Race City also gobbled up by a highway on-ramp and garbage dump.Here's a better super8 tape.
