|title=The Great Race: The Amazing Round-The-World Auto Race Of 1908
|rating=5
|genre=Children's Non-Fiction
|summary=In 1908, Henry Ford's Model T hadn't yet brought cars to the masses. The pioneers of the world of automobiles were experimenting and discovering just what the car could do, by driving right round the world. Except they didn't want to be pioneers. One of the competitors, Antonio Scarfoglio, put it so perfectly when he said ''We had set out to perpetuate an act of splendid folly, not to open up a new way for men. We wished to be madmen, not pioneers.'' Isn't that about the best quote you've ever read?
