Same here, not read a book for a few years now, probably Mort's book was the last one I enjoyed, really looking forward to this one, will be listening out for the thud as it lands on the mat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very impressive, long-awaited book by one of speedway's finest. Well done to all. Thank you. Hope you enjoy it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,285 Posted October 27, 2022 Just got back from meeting the true "LEGEND" of British Speedway that is PC... A phrase far too often overused but one million per cent applicable on this occasion... A good crowd it appeared so hopefully he will make a good few quid from the book.. And he looked really well, which was also great to see... PC.... 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watched this morning on you tube, 1982 world championship long track race when he hunted down Egon Muller on a really wet track….. amazing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in same boat mate, still waiting for my copy to arrive, fair enough though, I did read that they had over 1,000 orders for signed copies, which is great, here's hoping we get ours soon. It will be great to read what PC has to say about his racing career and I'll no doubt reminisce about the big occasions I got to witness over the years, he was the best of the best bar none for me. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PC spent all day Saturday back at Retro Towers signing lots more copies, and we have hired extra staff to catch up the backlog. We've already made two trips to the Glossop post office sorting depot this morning with numerous sack-loads of books. Thanks for your continued patience. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,143 Posted October 31, 2022 I hope mine was amongst those just sent out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keepturningleft 589 Posted November 1, 2022 I've just received the book and, it looks quite amazing even though I've only skipped through it. I don't know how these thing work but this book should be in Waterstones and all bookshops. PC is probably a better known name to anyone over 50 than Tai Woffinden who's book was obtainable from high street bookstores. This must be one of, if not the most impressive speedway book ever produced. Well done Tony Mac and all involved. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Got mine signed by the great man last Momday.. A fantastic read.... Many of the meetings he writes about I was there for, so full of memories for me... The pre Speedway life was also very interesting and just the right length... Well done to all involved and for anyone who hasn't yet purchased it, don't miss out....
