Using a tractor, he carved out an oval track in the meadow below Main House and watered the dirt down every morning to keep the dust from flying. Matthew also retrieved an old aviation watch from his gear to time Francesca’s runs. Since Francesca hadn’t raced in years, she started out gun-shy of the Duisenberg’s big engine.

And that’s how I came to name the Doozy. Matthew and I were responsible for cleaning the Ghost after Francesca’s training sessions.

As we chatted, we gave the chrome such a gleam, I could see Matthew’s reflection.
