Well it’s me and my mate Roland - and a few others in Utah including Darrell Baker from the forum just talking about our experience there really.
Article reads well I think but others will be the judge of that.
Should be some nice images.
I understand It will cover a few pages but we will see.
Gave the forum a lot of love. See what pitches up.

Hi Mang,
How it reads don't matter much, it has to be hats off to you guys for having a go. Must have been a great experience

It is a great read with plenty of insight to what goes on at the flats and plenty of pics to drool over ... loved it

Believe it or not my copy of PSB hasn’t arrived so I haven’t seen it! I saw it a few weeks ago when it wasn’t finished with images and words missing.
May be I will see it this week.
Glad you like it anyway.

I got a copy yeserday and I think it refects what happened reasonably well - would have liked to have seen a final draft before it went out as there are some things that are not quite correct, the image of the inlet manifolds doesn't fit with the description.
It's actually a time consuming job doing articles and once every 4 years is about enough!

Will have to find a copy, but if I forget maybe one of you still has a scanner? I know they are kind of unfashionable items now...
