Product Description
Here is a detailed and personal look at the Unsers, the most successful family in American auto racing. Their dynasty was first established on Pikes Peak, where both Bobby and Al garnered several victories early on in their careers. Then the brothers went to the world’s premier race, the Indianapolis 500, and won a combined seven crowns before their driving days were done. The second generation of the family continued the Indy dominance as Al Unser Jr. won in both 1992 and 1994. Eventually, Robby Unser became the seventh member of the family to start at the big Brickyard, and now the newest racing Unser, Alfred Richard Unser (or ""Just Al"" as he’s called), looks to add yet another Unser name to the Indy 500 competitor list.

 Super Unser Biography & Well Illustrated May 9, 2007

This is a revised edition of an earlier book by respected author Gordon Kirby. I like the layout and the way that each photo (many from the Unser's private collection) has an extensive comment from the relevant Unser giving their personal recollections of the occasion. It's staggering the collective achievements of this family and the whole story is here. Because chapters are devoted to each individual Unser, this is a book you can keep dipping into. A worthy tribute to a great family.

A FANTASTIC book!!! What a great collection of information on the Unser Family. If you want to learn about the racing history of the Unser Family this is the book for you. Great words and photos make this a book you simply can't stop reading. I really enjoyed the updated sections of the book. Bobby Unser is always interesting and this book highlights his career on and off the track as well as that of the other family memebers. If you have interest in racing or the Unser Family this is a must for under the Christmas tree!!!
