Frank Keating,Guardian, October 3, 2006
Showered in Shale is a strikingly hectic labour of love, an urban
odyssey, a bucking, breathless round-Britain whizz in pursuit of an
obsession.

Tim Hamblin, Wolverhampton Express & Star, June 28, 2006
Scott's love of the sport and of his fellow man shine out. Highly
recommended.

Brian Burford, Speedway Star, August 5, 2006
There is embarrassment, anger, excitement, humour and some
dead-pan remarks that could have only come from speedway people.
