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. During the 1963 contest, Unser raced up the twisting 12.42-mile course in 12 minutes, 30.6 seconds -- an average speed of nearly 60 miles per hour.
