Road Racers 1979



"The Road Racers, shot in 1974 and released in 1979. Pure road racing from the Emerald Isle. From the crackle of racing engines at full power during 'unofficial practice' to the spectacular rider's-eye-view of racing on roads barely wide enough to take a car - this is the real thing! Award-winning producer David Wallace skillfully documents a hectic Irish season starting at the Northwest 200 through the Cookstown 100 to the finale at Carrowdore. This highly acclaimed production takes you behind the scenes and into the lives of road racers Frank Kennedy, Mervyn Tobinson and Joey Dunlop as they prepare to tackle the twists and jumps, telegraph poles and pillars on public roads - at breathtaking speeds
