Irish North West 200 - 1980's

Just discovered this vid featuring Charlie Williams in the 350cc class perhaps just prior to his Isle of Man TT win on a RD seen at 4:40 min. Could be a TZ/RZ however. The race is push start but the bikes blast by so fast the camera can't tell who is who in a cloud of blue smoke. Love the accents - kinda reminds me of my Newfie relatives where you listen intently but think huh? half the time. Interesting vid also featuring Joey Dunlop history I was unaware of. Also thought it amusing that editors decided to use Blue Grass music during race footage but get there is a historical connection maybe. Great vintage two stroke race footage.
