Carl Smart works in a furniture factory and "Stick" Elliott sells junk, but if their callings are prosaic, the men are not. They are fast rollers in the grand Southern tradition of dirt track racing: small-town versions of Rapid Roy. Up to 3,500 fans will converge on the Concord Speedway 15 miles northeast of Charlotte, N.C., on a balmy Saturday evening to watch these two "pedal-to-the-metal" drivers bump fenders as they scream around the track in their blazing fast, gloriously battered stock cars. Stick and Carl are masters of the "power slide," a dirt racing...

Miffed by the idea of a male stand-in for the action scenes, she has also been doing her own acrobatics, which have included dangling 100 ft. above ground from the balloon...

...individual all-around contest, and two in the individual-apparatus competition-showings good enough to win her three gold medals, one silver and one bronze. Whether doing backflips on the beam or rocketing herself around the uneven bars, the deceptively frail-looking sprite (she watches her diet strictly-no junk food) was so much in her element that the audience had no more fear of her falling than of a fish drowning.
