He was into the dragster scene for a while. Was the first one to put a wing on the back of a dragster. It was the tail off a plane from the local military junk yard.
He also raced 914s. He was also on the crew of the GT40's.
When I got my 914 back in 1984 he put a sticker under the hood of cars he maintained. If a Porsche listed for sale had a Maintained by Dumont's sticker it always got top dollar.
Used to spend a lot of time listening to his stories when I took my Porsches in for service.
Asked him about cryotempering for brake rotors when it first came out. He talked about using dry ice and alcohol to cryotemper push rods on hot rodded 911 motors to keep them from bending,
