"foreword by former WSB Champion Aaron Slight"

I thought he was always the bridesmaid, never the bride?

I know Michael Boyle who wrote it, helped in a very minor way with the research for it, and I've also promised to try and get Rob McElnea to talk to Michael about the FZ he ride in 86 at the Transatlantic Races if I bump into Rob (which is possible at Cadwell classic track days) it

I didn't get a free copy of the book though.

Michael has a Facebook page Fast Five Valves if you want to see some of the content of the book - why am I advertising his book for him?
