How
It All Began:
by Linda Case
Norm Case and
Dale Hall
were both working at
Daniels Cadillac in
Hartford,
Connecticut
in the late 60's
until 1974.
Along with
working
together, they also
were partners in a drag
racing endeavor, with Dale
as driver and Norm as crew
chief of an Injected Fuel
Dragster. |

As they
became more successful in drag racing,
more and more drag racers were interested
in having Dale and Norm do their drag race engine work. And
thus began
Precision Automotive, Inc.
.
Dale had always wanted to start his own engine/machine shop, so he
approached Norm
with the idea. They pooled their resources, rented a building and
started to purchase
equipment and build a customer base.
.
Within five years they outgrew the building they were renting so they
purchased a piece
of property on Herman Drive Drive in Simsbury and had a building
constructed.
This is the current location of Precision Automotive, Inc. at 9 Herman
Drive.
.
Along with the growth of Precision Automotive, Inc., so grew their drag
racing career - now
taking it to the National level, with great success. What set them apart
in the ranks of
Top Alcohol Dragster was a very unique and unconventional race car; a
front
engine car with a small block Chevy engine.
.
Through the span of their racing years, they were multi-time National
Event winners,
multi-time Division Champions and multi-time record holders. Their drag
racing years
ended in 1990 when costs dictated the necessity of major sponsorship and
the
time needed to run a full racing schedule.
.
Precision Automotive, Inc. evolved to specializing in unusual engine
work; oval track
racing, drag racing, marine racing, vintage engines, muscle car engines
and collector
car engines. Also included would be deemed "regular" engine work for
dealerships
and everyday street vehicles.
.
The cornerstones of Precision Automotive, Inc. has always been the fact
that 99.9% of
all work is done in-house. This has enabled Precision Automotive, Inc.
to have complete
control of all engine jobs, thus insuring quality work: a source of
great pride to -
Norm, Dale, Linda, Chris, Mike and others who have worked for us.
.
2009 marks 35 years for Precision Automotive, Inc. -
another source of pride for all involved!
