Calder Park fell into disrepair because Bob Jane had a "political" falling out with Shell in the old ATCC days.
Later, when V8SC was formed Shell remained a major player so Calder was never considered as a venue for championship rounds.
The subsequent loss of income was the reason the place fell into such a poor state.
The reason the place remains in a poor state is down to his son Rodney, who now has control of all of the Bob Jane companies.

Adelaide International - in particular, the dragstrip - was closed due to the constant noise complaints from all the morons who were dumb enough to build their houses next to a racetrack.
Don't blame Bob Jane for it remaining closed. Blame the succession of State Governments who have agreed with them!
