RIP Al Unser Sr.

During the overnight it was posted that we've lost Big Al - a 4-time Indy 500 winner.
It's been a tough year of losses - not just in racing, but everywhere. May the New Year be brighter than the one we leave behind.
RIP

A legend by any measure.

BAT has a nice commentary and video from '85 when Big Al beat Little Al for the championship in the final race.
