First Dyno Don Nicholson and now Ronnie Sox.  Just goes to show those of us who remember the HayDay of Super Stock and Funny Car are getting old.  What a great era with Sox and Martin, Dick Landy, Grumpy Jenkins, and all the original Funny Cars running those match races at the local strip.  Rest in peace Ronnie Sox and thanks for the memories.

That's a shame, their cars were always some of my favorites.

I saw Ronnie Sox at Chryslers @ Carlisle at least 10 years ago, giving a TV interview.  It was pretty cool to see him.

Great loss, at any NHRA event we were fortunate enough to participate in, Sox and Martin were always an inspiration.

Rest In Peace Ronnie, many will miss you.  God Bless and hold close family, loved friends and competitors.
