Greatest OF all road record runs OF
It. J. Baudette is the fast dash over
the sncwy Sierras from Carson CITY

Checking out of the capitol grounds
at Carson City under the supervision
of Governor Boyle and Senate Ack-
erman, Baudette made the run 70

he started from the Nevada capitol.
The time OF the famous road driver
is the fastest ever made between this
city and the Nevada capita! and on
the run all intercity records were shat
tered.
Baudettes feat was all the more
remarkable when ii is considered
that he was at the wheel IF a little
Chevrolet stock model "Four-Ninety

even the top were carried as part OF
the equipment of the machine. With
Baudette were two passengers. Hal
Stone. one time road race champion
OF America, and Sen A. w. Keddie
iof Neveda, acting as Official OBJ
server.
The car Criven by Baudette had
travelled less than 10 miles when it
left the capitol grounds at Carson
City for the fast run over the snow
locked passes of the Sierras, having
been unloaded at the railroad station
the morning before the start. II was
Baudette's first experience behind the
wheel OF little Chevrolet and the
run was considered more as an ex-
pertinent for Baudette than anything
else.
Several weeks ago the Chevrolet
touring car carrying two men and
complete camping outfit left Sacra-
mento for Carson City with mes
sage from Governor Johnson to Gov
ernor Boyle. For 20 days this little
, car fought its way slowly up the
eastern slopes of the Sierras and
over the white mountains toward the
Nevada capitol, having gone as far
south as Mojaye to avoid the snow
drifts and the high Sierras claimed
to be impossible.
When Governor Boyle received the
message from his exceIlency, Hiram
Johnson, governor OF California, he
decided to send an answer by auto
| mobile, but the messenger was to
take the northern route, proving that
the Sierras can be trayersed by motor
ears in the dead of winter.

little machine il Hal Stone. for
