Wow!
As a race official at Pikes Peak back in the day, I knew Bobby Unser (and the entire Unser clan) for years. I also had the privilege of meeting and interacting with the Audi drivers for several years - John Buffum, Walter Rohrl (not only an outstanding world champion, but also an exceptional gentleman!) and later Michelle Mouton and Fabrizia Pons. Mouton was an incredible driver but didn't waste much time with people skills. Pons, on the other hand, was as gracious and friendly as she was beautiful.
My young (grade school age) sons had crushes on the Mouton/Pons team - and had arms full of autographed posters, cards, and personal notes. In another year, Rohrl trumped them by giving my boys each a 1/6 scale replica of his racing helmet, complete with Walter's autograph personalized to each of them.
Needless to say, my guys loved the Audi racers!! And, the Audi teams set the hillclimb world on fire! So many stories, so little time.
I have a stash of Quattro kits and am eagerly awaiting the Bobby Unser decal set - (first time the Pikes Peak logo has appeared in decal form!!). I need to build one of each of my old friends.
