Ronnie Sox

My friends and I met Ronnie Sox at one of their Super Car Clinics in Hempstead, Long Island
back in July 1968.

It was a few days before the 1968 Super Stock Magazine Nationals that were held at
New York National Speedway.

My friend had just bought a brand new 1968 Road Runner '383' 4-Speed.

He asked Ronnie why Sox & Martin didn't run a 383 Road Runner in E/S or E/SA for
1968, since the 68' Road Runners were Plymouth's 'most popular street musclecar'.

Ronnie was completely honest, and said that the 383 Road Runner just couldn't compete
with the 68' 340 Barracuda or Dart, or as he said the 'Mini Hercules' in reference to the 340.

Ronnie said at the track in 1968, the NHRA Legal E/S or E/SA 383 Road Runner was fighting
a losing battle.

But, he did say, on the street, and with the right set-up, they could be a force.

He was correct, and honest..........
