I don't know of any that exist. The only chance I would say would be to contact the local TV station who would have probably covered the major meetings for a small news clip in the monday early evening local news 'sport' round up. In my region, Anglia, these were usually only a minute long (if that) of major meetings at Snett.
I have all three of the 1970s Castrol BRSCC end of season films but no coverage from Croft. |

No F1,F2 or F5000 race ever took place at Croft. I think an F2 race was was once scheduled but cancelled. I have only ever been there once for a F3 international in 1970. If your father recalls some he may be thinking of the odd old car taking part in Libre races. I don't think any Croft meetings were televised until the recent TOCA & F3/GT packages.

Men and Motors did a series of programmes of racing through the sixties and early seventies - they're actually great as they're originals and they were put together in the kind of "moviereel" style with a posh announcer and everything.
I can't remember if any of them featured Croft, but I think one of them did. |

The Men and Motors films are actually the Castrol films that you can buy on video entitled 'Motor Racing 60s style'
There are 3 of them plus another for 1970/71 but they do not feature Croft. You can get these tapes though at all good racing video outlets. |
