Unser donation: Shay Silversmith, right, and Bryan Shelendewa
in the UNM Gallup Electrical Systems and Brake Automotive class,
adjust the new dynamometer at the UNM Gallup auto shop on Friday
morning. Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner and racing legend Bobby
Unser recently donated about $52,000 worth of automotive equipment
to the UNM Gallup Auto Shop including the dyno. Unser was scheduled
to make an appearance at UNM Gallup on Friday but he was hospitalized
due to an infection that was not healing. Unser will visit UNM Gallup
in the near future when his health improves. [Photo by Matt Hinshaw/Independent]
