So, to make a long story short. My family lives in Albuquerque NM which is also where the Unser family lives. Back in the 70's or so my mother used to hang out at go kart races and knew some of the racers. Some lived in her neighborhood.
FF to recently, She's moved back to her old neighborhood, helping her neighbor out in an estate sale she found an old go kart racing helmet. Lots of autographs but one stood out... Bobby Unser. I was down there in March and we took the helmet to the Unser racing museum and had the signature verified. They said it was very early but his for sure.
I've got the helmet here with me. Not sure what i'm going to do with it but since it could have some value it's going to stay far away from my kids.
It's Fiberglass, the gel coat is starting to chip away (damaging some signatures) but the leather straps and stuff are still there.
Pretty sweet find.. Score one for my mom.
PS, the Unser racing museum is awesome!
