I know what You mean. I hear Indy 500 and instantly think of The Unsers. I hear Long Beach and it’s Little Al popping into My head.
They're closing down the Unser racing museum here in Albuquerque. We have an entire Boulevard named after the family. Little Al's gotten himself in trouble on occasion here, but overall a decent sort from what I hear. The original shop they worked out of is on the northeast corner of old Route 66 (now Central Avenue) and Unser. They were the first shop in town as people came down off the west mesa into the valley heading east on 66 and the last place heading west.
