drove a class "B" Production Porsche Carrera in 1961-62.  This 4-cam 1600 cc. car was considered so potent it was placed in the same class as the Corvettes.  Along with Ed Leslie and Chuck Parsons, Wester gave the Monterey Peninsula three first-rate competitors in 1961.
 

At Santa Barbara on Sept. 2-3 1961, Wester finished 2nd  to fellow Northern Californian Paul Reinhart.
