On the DVD - ‘Joey, Ray and Rivals’ - a glorious chapter in the history of road racing is brought to life.

The DVD is a comprehensive history of the two biggest groups in Irish motorcycling hsitory; Joey Dunlop’s Armoy Armada, and the Dromara Destroyers, led by Ray McCullough.

Created by Waldovision Ltd, the company that produced Joey Dunlop - No Ordinary Joe and programmes for BBC NI including Joey Dunlop- Remembered, the DVD was released by Duke Video on December 3.

Presented by the BBC’s Stephen Watson, the DVD features interviews with all the Dromara Destroyer riders; Ray McCullough, Ian McGregor, Brian Reid and Trevor Steele.

There are also contributions from William Dunlop, Guy Martin, Conor Cummins, John McGuinness, Steve Parrish and many more.

Joey, Ray and Rivals features many unpublished pictures from family albums and photographers who were close to the groups. Also included is footage of racing in the 1960s and 1970s which has never been seen on DVD before.

Plus, there is a unique interview with McCullough recorded in 1979 in which he predicts Joey’s first win at the North West 200.
