the title comes from the skills of ayrton senna,who was heavily involved in the development of the nsx. it's written (really) by the family dog,enzo,whose person is a racer.it's not primarily about racing,but the stuff about racing is really good (it tells you the car goes where your eye goes).it's also about the loyalty and wisdom of dogs, and the title is a metaphor for surviving through hardship.it's by garth stein.
