About Pit Boy

“Pit Boy and the Silver Eagle” is a touching profile of one artist’s relentless determination and thirteen year-long pursuit in metal, mechanics and speed. In 2008, Seattle artist and motor sports enthusiast David Harto took his grandfather’s 1952 motor scooter and began to transform it into a work of rolling art and lean muscle. Four record-setting attempts and thirteen years later he ventured to Utah’s storied Bonneville salt flats in the hopes of joining a short list of legends in the annals of land speed racing glory.
