I had a great long conversation with Gordon on the phone today. He is still kicking and doing well. His website was only down for a few hours due to technical issues and I happened to catch one of those times, so it's again active. He DOES still sell a ~90 minute DVD of (mostly crashes at the bridge) of various events (mostly RUNOFFS) at Road Atlanta. For us RACER TYPES the price is $40 + $8 shipping, so
$48 payable via paypal. Be sure to include your mailing address and that you want a copy of the 'Emergency' DVD. The regular price on his website is $60 per DVD (for those non-racer types). The link posted above by Garry is a sample of what's on the DVD (Canfield does show up .. as he FLIES by). You can pay by sending money to
Gordon@GordonJolley.com via Paypal. I would suggest that you 'send money to a friend' as I believe the DVD is one of those 'priceless' things. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Be sure to include your name and shipping address. You might also mention you saw it posted on the Apexspeed forums
.
He also has an extensive Super8 library of Road Atlanta Runoffs races cataloged here :
http://gordonjolley.com/Events_SCCA/runoffs_info.htm
He has lots of footage from the '71, '72, and '73 Runoffs (ALL CLASSES) and many other films from Vintage and Historic events - mostly from Road Atlanta and mostly from somewhere around 'the bridge' (as it was in the OLD DAYS). Not to mention thousands and thousands of pictures from many events in our racing history. Due to some medical problems, he hasn't done much since 2009, but before that .. at Road Atlanta .. there's a decent chance he has some pix .. or maybe even video from it if you are interested.
I should add that Gordon's early footage in Super8 is quite OLD, but mostly still usable. About 25 years ago Gordon and Atlanta Region made a 'push' to get all of his films converted to CD .. or something more 'durable' since that was before the advent of DVD's. The conversion from Super8 to DVD is significantly easier these days, but it still would take MANY hours to convert it all (not to mention a Super8 projector).. a sizable task for sure. He does have some classes (or groups) from various races that have already been converted, but you need to contact him directly to see if he has something you want. He said he WOULD do individual film selections for 'cost'.. expected to be around $200 or so depending on what you need and what he has.
His email is
Gordon <nospace> Jolley <at> g ma il . com or you can find his phone number on his GordonJolley.com website. Please let him know if you are interested in getting more of his early 'movies' converted into digital format. He would love to get it done, but the cost is simply too prohibitive for a single individual.
I have placed my order and I told him to expect a barrage of orders from Apexspeed members, so don't let me down
