I guess most know Ronnie Sox died sat. night. I heard about it while working at 66 yesterday. When I got home I had several E-mails. One was from Wally Bell of course and from the Sox e-mail.
It was an honor to race with Ron in Pro mod in the early 90s. He and I were also featured together at many Ford Events. Ron and the Pro Mod Comet and me with my Pro Mod Haas WunderBird Super Coupe. The last I can recall was Oct. 94 at Moroso's all Ford deal. As at many prior All Ford programs. The two of us were the feature deal. The next weekend Ron and I were booked to run at Jackson Dragway, SC. I think that was it for the Comet. In 95 He went with an IHRA Pro Stock car.
The last time I spent any time with him was in Dec. of 98. I went to Burlington,NC to Travers Webb's shop to look at the Comet (Webb actually owned that Comet) to possibly buy it. It was for sale. Ron and Travers both met me there.
It was a hard decision-but I instead went back to another ThunderBird Super Coupe. This time a McAmis car. Big mistake. I should have bought the Comet. I must have had my head up my ass!
Linda and I are very sad about Ronnie Sox. He was our friend.
