I just saw a 10PM last night post from Holly Martin reporting that Wes Potter has died.  May he hook up with Ray the Rat for some good music and stories. :cry: :cry:

I'm really sorry to hear this. Wes was one of the first LSR people I met a few years ago. Good guy!

For those of you interested. Wes was an integral part of USFRA for many years. We will certainly miss him.

This is a picture I took of Wes at the Kirkham Summit in 2007 when I was giving a talk on the development of the Shelby 427 aluminum engine.
