It is a superb museum with all the exhibits beautifully restored and covering sprint cars, Indy and Pikes Peak.
We got to the museum just about 30 minutes before closing so they gave us a reduced price , the staff are that nice.
Whilst studying the indy engine dispay which ranges from Offy's to Cosworth's a stocky guy in a windcheater came up to talk, he then mentioned he was Al Unser!
He spent some time going throught the Offy at Indy story with me despite it being closing time.
When I mentioned that I had been ( from England) to the Knoxville Nationals he talked about Sprint cars as well.
A true gentleman and a really good museum.

Just the opposite of his brother Bobby.

At least number three, maybe four, according to press room banter over the years. The same scuttlebutt has Bobby on number six. Don't know the truth of either of those.Originally posted by David M. Kane
I think #2...but that is a guess.

I can't help you there other than backing you up on Bobby. I know he's on at least #3. Which one are you on?

In the chair some minutes later I hardly noticed the doc torquing down on my braces as I sat thinking how cool it was that someone could race in the Indy 500, yet be fully in the moment when taking his kid to the orthodontist as well… Anyway, he’s always seemed like one of the good guys to me.
