Wes didn’t hit his 9 sec pass this weekend but he was pulling some crazy numbers. His best pass off the bottle was a 10.6@140 with a 1.8 60 His best pass on the bottle with a 100 shot was a [email protected] and that was with a 1.7 60. On the nitrous pass he picked up a hair less than 40hp between the eighth and quarter OMG That MPH also puts him 3rd all time amongst AWD DSMs. It goes Shepherd, Glazer, Hess. That is some pretty l33t company.

Im sure if his suspension was a bit nicer than intrax springs and Gr2 shocks he would have a much better ET. It also doesn’t help that his car weighs 2900lbs with him in it while shep and glazer weigh in south of 2500lbs. Another interesting factoid is that a 2900lbs car pulling 147 traps is right around 700hp.

Anyway that is it for him for a long while. He is leaving for the airforce in about 2 weeks. Its going to be a real shame to lose him :(
 
I was there, his car is pretty sick, there were only about 5 dsm's there...about 75% of the cars were mustangs, it was fun to beat on them, even though I could only manage a 12.0@116 for the day. Maple Grove is very nice, first time I ever raced there. Too bad they close soon!

I give all the props to wess for building that monster but, i think i have a video of Curt Brown doing 148mph. Nothing taken away from wess at all because i kno what it takes to build a car like that.

Yeah after I posted that GaryA pointed something out to me. If you look at DSMtimes.org under AWD my statement is correct. However many people have run FASTER but with WORSE ETs which is why DSMtimes doesn’t reflect that. For example Curts fastest MPH according to the times page is 146.

About 3 years ago Wes spent some big $$ in dyno time to set up his Haltech. I think it took him something like 8 hrs the first time. The bill was damn near what I make in a 2 week period. Ever since then he hasn’t been all that excited to convert to 2 wheel and go back. Someone is opening up an AWD dyno in about a month so maybe next year he will do it. But I know he is a lot more concerned with track numbers than dyno numbers.
