Wolfgang Grasser is, now, a 6-time WyoTech Brute Horsepower Shootout champion. On Friday, he powered his 2003 Harley Davidson FXR with a 98.6ci V-Twin motor to 183.42 HP, claiming his sixth straight Horsepower Shootout victory. That works out to around 1.9 horsepower per cubic inch! Wow! We got a chance to catch up with Wolfgang after his win. “We had to do 100 percent of the machine work on the cylinder headsI’ve probably got several hundred hours just in the cylinder headsWe’ve been working on this package for 4 years,” Grasser told us. “The motor itself: we probably have an excess of $35 grand just in the motor. It’s our pride and joy and a representation of what we do. It’s a rollin’ business car.” In addition to being a sleek black, custom-built Harley, it’s street legal! What makes these victories especially sweet is that Wolfgang is, in a sense, one of our own. He graduated from American Motorcycle Institute (AMI) in 1990; American Motorcycle Institute – Daytona Beach Campus became WyoTech in 2006. He is a Motorcycle Technology graduate who specialized in Harley-Davidson. Congrats, Wolfgang! View the 20th Annual WyoTech Brute Horsepower Shootout Championship results here: news.wyotech.edu
