Jeri Unser, daughter of Bobby, represents the third generation of the
Unser family. She is the 12th Unser to race Pikes Peak and she set an
Electric Division record in 2003. Her brother Robby has won nine times,
most recently in the Open class in 2004.
A quick look at currently standing race records. These listings don't
reflect past records that have been set and later broken.

Johnny Unser - Natural Gas SSC (1993)
Robby Unser - Open Wheel (1994)
Jeri Unser - Electric (2003)

Rod Millen - Unlimited (1994)

I respect the Millen accomplishments, but they've a ways to goJohnny Unser - Natural Gas SSC (1993)

before SPEEDTV can rightfully claim that Pike Peak is Millen's Mountain.
