Autobiography with Ian Kirke - the life and career of the seven-time British Champion.

Join one of the most decorated national speedway champions as he reflects upon his roller-coaster life, often on two wheels, but more so as an ordinary human being trying to make sense of it all. The urge to share his life story, or more accurately a work in progress, stems from one simple question – why did his parents decide to put him on a motorbike with no brakes as a 4-year-old kid?

A shy youngster navigates his unique start to life as an accomplished escape artist and horse whisperer to reach an early childhood dream – riding for his hometown club, before embarking on a journey that races across the globe, with a bunch of loyal friends, chasing his ultimate ambition to becoming world champion; so tantalisingly close, yet very nearly destined to become a haunting career epitaph.

His emotional laps vividly connect with those close to him: loves and heroes, along with triumphs, losses, and grief beyond imagination. In-between he takes on the speedway establishment, accidentally ends up as a regular TV presenter, starts a fashion craze, and possibly engages with the Russian Mafia – not to mention his surprising appearance in a Polish brothel, his signature to a contractual sex ban, and the more sombre times when he was ready to call it a day.

Still performing at the top of the domestic scene, Scott offers an exceptional opportunity for the reader to team ride with him as he races and reflects on the slides through life that have frequently been the subject of public debate. As dad to his partner in crime Maya, and more recently Penny, he is without doubt a man who is still on a mission – whether donning his crash helmet or peddling across the south-downs.

This autobiography will appeal to all speedway fans – whether or not associated with the many teams that Scott has represented – and also to those outside the sport, as we all grapple with what it really means to be human and what has shaped us into becoming the person we are today, warts and all.
