H All
the book will be available world final weekend from the Stuart Smith bus and from the 249 Joff Gibson bus both days. Lisa and the girls will be strolling round from time to time but wander over to the bus and get the boys to sign your copy
Good luck to FWJ on the launch of his book looks like a lot of reading for people after the weekend.

Thank you Linky for the comments. There has been many more and has become overwhelming as the point of the book was to allow you the fans an insight into Stuart's life and as some have said warts and all. I am glad that those who have already had a copy are enjoying the book, "cant put it down", "read it twice", "so many great memories", "so sad at the end". You will laugh and cry and at some times will just say "really".
The book will be available at the Stoke semi-final meeting from the 249 Joff Gibson bus or from the Team Smith bus, books are being signed by both the Smith boys and by myself so dont be shy if you want a signed copy.
The book then goes on tour and will be available at Venray from the Mini Team transporter, go along and meet Andy, Lisa, the girls and Hilary herself who I am sure will share memories with you, if you want to get her going remind her of the fan club days "It used to drive me mad" or ask her about driving the bus.

sorry for not posting earlier but been mad busy. Firstly thank you for all the kind comments about the book my main goal was to tell a story of what Stuart's life was away from the tracks and how he was moulded into what he became.
Some books are going to be going over to Venray and trying to organise Texel as well for our Dutch friends so keep your eye out for an announcement.
To order by post you will need a paypal account and you need to pay under family and friends the total amount of £23,50 that covers P&P. My account is stuart.milnes@btinternet.com many thanks.

Thank you, I think there will be a few who never had the pleasure of seeing Stuart race but this book gives an inside look to his life.

The wait is over this coming Sunday the book is being launched at Belle Vue. A fitting place as it was the scene of Stuarts many triumphs and disasters the old Belle Vue. We are planning on getting the 69 world winning car there. The cover price is £20 and details about mail order will follow after the weekend.

Yes just to add to that 16 was fourth in final everyone else moves down one we sorted it on night within the timescales allowed but obviously too late to inform public, there was a discrepancy with lapsheets/transponders and my interpretation of what happened as it was all a bit dusty and hectic. Sorry Jane xx

Karl313 said that the final results had changed and he was right from 8th I think there was a change I was privvy to the change over the radio. Why so many people on here get their preverbial nickers in a twist and so quickly astounds me but maybe its the price for the internet and everyones desire to know straight away. Dannys position was never in doubt and he "drove it like he stole it" and deserved the win as I said when I was one of first to shake his hand.

Andy Robinson ex 140 is returning to racing and requires a pair of 2014 silencers for his big block. He requires a set with a 4 inch inlet diameter. You can contact Andy on 07795088203.
They can be taken to a track where I am working as well.
