Full Circle

As I began to put pen to paper, I had no idea how it would pan out. I've never written anything in my life, other than the odd Birthday and Christmas card. It is interesting, funny, sad, and a little bit different. It s simply the story of me as a Boy, with a brilliant Mum, from a hard up working class family, growing up in the 1950 s, then making his way in life. Quite a bit of this book, is about my racing career, what I ve tried, is write more about the Teams and other Drivers, rather than boring you with how good or bad I was, as I m fully aware, that unless you are a Motor Racing fan, it would certainly do just that. What you read is what really happened, I just hope I will be able to paint a picture with my words. Hope you will find it a good read. Rick Shortle.
