THE MUSEUM WILL RE-OPEN FALL 2021
Created 15 years ago as a museum which invited visitors to touch and wander, spending time as needed to read, watch and listen to the presentations, it was never imagined that its very “public-interactive” design would make it so vulnerable to the restrictions of a pandemic and we suspect visitors may be disappointed not to be able to hear the oral history of this “First Family of Racing” or listen to the stories from other drivers, or to see the videos and hear the sounds of racing from footage on Pike’s Peak to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today.
In this amazing museum, there are so many opportunities to explore exhibition spaces that are enhanced by kiosks, touch screen interactives and dedicated, well-informed docents on hand to answer questions or provide a guided tour.
The difficult decision to remain closed to the public under the current New Mexico public health directives was made to consider the well-being of every individual; visitors, staff and volunteers.
A re-evaluation of the conditions under which we can fully re-open will happen in September. We sincerely look forward to the day we can welcome everyone back into the museum for a complete experience.
In the meantime be sure to check out the Unser Racing Store as we will continue to operate our online store for all your holiday shopping needs!
If you have any questions you can call 505-341-1776.
Please stay safe and healthy during these stressful times.
With sincere appreciation,
The Unser Family is saddened to announce that Bobby Unser passed away last night at age 87 surrounded by family. The last few laps of his life were difficult, beset with mechanical problems, but in true “Uncle” Bobby fashion he finished his final race in high gear, a champion to the end.
“He was my older brother” said Al, “and he gifted me with thousands of memories; hunting rabbits and catching rattlesnakes on the west Mesa as a boy; working on cars in our dad’s shop; watching him race at Speedway Park; following him to Pikes Peak and then on to Indy and Daytona, where his friends became mine; trying to outbuild and outrace each other in dune buggies and snowmobiles; teaming up for mountain search and rescue; being in and out of businesses together; harrowing trips with him in his airplane; and competing hard with him on the track and pulling pranks on each other off the track. He made me laugh, made me angry, made me try harder and was one of my biggest fans. Anyone who has fallen victim to Bobby’s “advice” can appreciate how many hours of brotherly advice I received on everything from raising children to packing wheel bearings. I learned many lessons from my older brother, am proud to have been Bobby’s little brother and am so thankful for his presence in my life”.
RIP Brother
Services are pending and will be posted here as soon as arrangements have been made.
Condolences can be sent to Lisa Unser at 7700 Central Ave NW Albuquerque, NM 87121 and/or Al Unser at PO Box 191 Chama, NM 87520.
