Bobby Unser Crossing the Finish Line, Winner of the 1956 Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb Race
Add to SetSummary
Bobby Unser's three Indianapolis 500 victories were impressive enough, but he really shined at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. He won 13 climbs over 30 years, from 1956 to 1986. While Unser made his wins seem effortless, they were the result of innovative car design, skilled driving, and careful study of the course's many twists and turns.
