That track is actually Surfers Paradise International Raceway.
Footage comes from the movie 'Wheels on Fire'
It has some of the best Old Aussie footage avaliable.

brocks 28c car was wrecked at surfers,it sat sripped for years before being crushed???didnt see it
bond wrote it off true story,it was parted out here,and no one wanted the shell!
i got the cage out of Dick Johnsons torana,it was for sale at Brisbane street machines in 1993 maybe earlier..
had a look at Allan Grices xu1 for 28 g in a fancy car shop in the city...at that time too,porshes and shit
had to climb down the back to see it,

Theres the original '72version and there's another later version with added eastern creek drags.
This is the cover if you are looking for it.
