Back from Santa Fe

We had lunch in Santa Fe at the Tune Up Cafe. It's one of Guy Fieri's picks from Diner's Drive-Ins and Dives. After getting back to Albuquerque Limo Man told me that he would really like to go to the Unser Racing Museum. In case you don't know, Limo Man is all about the racing and the wheels! (And no he's not a redneck). I wasn't really that thrilled about it but it was important to him so we went. Ladies!!!! I couldn't have been more wrong about the place. It was SO MUCH FUN!

I mean just look at the place....It was awesome.
It may be hard to read but the door handles but they say "Unser Racing".
And as we walked in we heard the man himself talking. WOW, it was Al Unser Sr.!!! Limo Man couldn't have been more excited! This is certainly a life moment that we'll never forget! And Mr. Unser was so kind and generous with his time with everyone that came in. What a nice nice guy! You could tell that he really loved what he was doing.An indy car carved from marble outside of the museum.
And of course they had an actual indy car outside that you could sit in for photo ops.
The fence behind Limo Man and the racecar is an actual piece of the fence from Indianapolis when Emmerson Fittapaldi put Little Al (Al Sr.'s son) into the wall during an Indy 500 race.
Limo Man was definitely in his own element!
He may not be Mr. Smoothe but he's definitely Mr. COOL!
This Indy car is the last one that Al Sr. drove at Indianapolis for the win for Team Penske.
The history of the Unser family is really interesting. If you are ever in Albuquerque and have a chance to stop in it's well worth the price of admission. I think that this car was one of the first race cars that Al Unser's dad built.
Hey, where's my helmet? Where's my pit crew? Wait guys......I'm coming for ya'
