Bobby Unser Teams With Accident Reconstruction Firm ATA Associates

HOUSTON, May 2, 2006 -- Mention the name Bobby Unser to the average person and winning auto races instantly comes to mind. Unser, a 3-time Indy 500 Champion, has compiled one of the most impressive lists of accomplishments in American racing history. Quickly glancing over his racing record, it's easy to see why he was selected as one of Sports Illustrated's "Top Five Athletes" in the popular magazine's first twenty years.

Unser's accomplishments include: the first driver to record a 200 mph qualifying average speed in Indy car competition, 35 career Indy car wins, 49 Indy car pole positions, eight 500-mile Indy car victories, winnings over $2.6 million, 4 International Race of Champions (IROC) wins, and a record 13 Pikes Peak Hill Climb wins.

Unser will be busier and more successful than ever in his role as an automotive expert with ATA Associates (http://www.ataassociates.com/).

Founded in 1974 by former NASA engineer Bob Swint, ATA Associates delivers clients' accident reconstruction, litigation support, and trial presentation services. ATA's experienced experts use the latest forensic techniques to analyze car, truck, railroad, marine, industrial and heavy equipment failures.

Swint and Unser successfully collaborated on an Alfa Romeo case in the 1980s and are pleased to continue their partnership. "ATA Associates has developed a strategy for success and proven themselves to be real winners in litigation testing and support," said Unser.

Engineers rave about the abilities of racing drivers to detect the smallest chassis malfunction while traveling at speeds well over 200 mph. And racing drivers marvel at an engineer's knowledge of suspension technology. But a person with dual abilities is a renowned wizard. Bobby Unser is constantly referred to as the latter.

According to Swint, "Unser's experience has taught him the complexities of human dynamics as they relate to automobile safety and design. Combining Unser's knowledge of vehicle handling and performance, mechanical systems, seat restraints and suspension, with ATA's engineering and analysis capabilities is a definite winning scenario."
