Some racers turn to snowmobiles in the off-season, others go hunting or fishing.
The team of Al Unser and Al Unser Jr were part of the entertainment at a luncheon held by Gateway International Raceway as part of their promotion for the track's inaugural Indy Racing Northern Light Series event next August. Before a crowd of local media, government officials and area tourism businessmen, the Unser duo were subject to questions from the floor. One question, asked of the senior Unser, who currently serves as a consultant and driver coach for the series, was about which driver was his best student. And after he came back from the Petty school, I helped him get back on track. He still lets me know that when we're on snowmobiles.
