Episode 098: Loni Unser's Road to Pikes Peak

Loni Unser is part of a family that has a rich history in motorsports, and especially in racing in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.  In this episode we talk about her road from racing go-karts, to Miata's, to driving in the 100th Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Believe it or not, Loni started out racing on skis, not in anything with 4 wheels.  That came later when she started driving Karts a bit, and that quickly moved into racing Spec Miata with NASA Rocky Mountain. From there she ran the Mazda MX5 cup with Hixon Motor Sports in 2021, and her success there set the foundation for her to secure a place in the Porsche Cup for the 100th running of the Pikes Peak Hill Climb. For episode 98 of the Flatirons Syndicate Motorsports Podcast, we talk with Loni about her path to racing, what she though about competing in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb for the first time, and we also talk to her about Shift Up Now which she is a part of.
