...history of death (more than 100 fatalities in 43 years), perhaps because it is so brutally long. Frenchmen call it La Ronde Infernale ("The Hell Circuit"). Pro drivers hate it: the 8.3-mile course is monotonous, and amateurs are allowed to compete, a fact that makes the coolest pro perspire with fright. The only man who really enjoys Le Mans is Italy's crusty old Enzo Ferrari, whose cars have won the race five times in the past six years...

Sometimes serious, Lightning was also full of the ironic wit with which Graham occasionally likes to prick the dance world's pretensions. The girl's coolest, most contained movements, for instance, often prompted her partners to shatter the mood with explosive, calisthenic displays...
