Carlos Danger Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I got a chance years ago to ride with one of the Unser kids on the track at Limerock. You think you know what driving fast is until you get a few laps with a professional driver who does not care if he breaks the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a similar experience riding with .7, just sans professional. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No name straight comes to a 90 degree turn going up hill to the bridge at Limerock. The Unser kid was sliding the car sideways in the straight at 90 or 100 so that the car was in a slide as it reached the corner and would achieve grip just as it reached the rumble stripe on the far side of the turn as it goes up the hill. I bet he did a 100 laps that day in 3 or 4 different cars and he was able to pull off this stunt lap after lap. Pro drivers like that just play at a different level. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I simply can't understand why America doesn't declare open warfare on drunk driving. Just can't figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a good friend who lived in Albuquerque and there was a rumor that the Unser boys got some rental cars and had a unsanctioned race thru town. trashed those rentals out pretty bad.

They also liked riding sleds in restricted wilderness area's then claiming they were lost. Watched my old man trade highmarks with Al Sr. at Togwotee in spring of 84 on his Interceptor. Sr. was on turbo 400 or 440 indy. Both short tracks with small lugs (lower geared.....sorry had too). They chatted awhile about sleds and clutching at the bottom of the hill. Very cool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole family was into snowmobiles as well. That would be a tough pack of sleds to keep up with I would think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
