| For the 1963 season Wester
bought Bob Donner's Porsche RS61
and campaigned it nationwide in the USRRC series. Here, Wester leads
Graham Hill at the Northwest GP on September 29, 1963, at Pacific Raceway
near Kent, Washington. Wester was 4th and 5th in the two heats and
won the Under 2-liter class.
Hill was a late arrival,
and drove Roy Winkelmann's Lotus 23-Climax from last place on the grid
to 3rd in the first heat. He stalled on the grid and got away last
in the second. He got up to 9th (second in class) by the seventh
lap. On lap 12 he retired with gearbox woes. |
