        I spoke to Dennis Kurimai yesterday who used to run Dragmaster East which was originally located in Monroe, Ct. and then moved to the Norwalk area. Dennis and his partner Bill Barth used to do engine work for me and a lot of the local racers in the early sixties. He moved his operation to California around 1967. He now lives in Granite Bay, California. This is a picture of his AA/GD that ran at Dover and Connecticut Dragway. Also in the gallery is the 54 Vette, “The Hustler” that ran out of their shop.
