Chasing Harold

• 

The winners of the famous New York to Paris Race of 1908 were the American team with their Thomas Flyer. The team had several drivers, among them Harold Brinker, who sat behind the wheel from Ogden, Utah to San Francisco. As there was no usable automobile route south of The Great Salt Lake, he chose to drive around the North shore into Nevada. Two Utahns, John Clark and Robert Rampton, wanted to find out how much of the route through this remote part of Utah still exists. One hundred years to the day, they left Ogden to chase Harold Brinker and drive the trail of the Thomas Flyer. Read their full story! (click on the link for a PDF.file!)
