Ronnie Sox passed away.
« on: April 24, 2006 - 10:18:40 AM »
Just found out that Ronnie Sox, 'Mr. 4-speed', lost his lengthy fight with cancer. He was a true drag racing legend, a Mopar icon, and a heck of a nice guy as well. RIP, Ronnie. :angelwings:

Timing is everything, had he been born a few yars later no one would have noticed him as the 4 spd would not be used in racing classes , his awesome skills fell perfectly in line with an era when the skills were needed to dominate
 He will be missed  :sadwavey: :worshippy

That sucks, Ronnie Sox was a true racing legend and will live on forever in the minds of those who knew him and those who watched him race. I'm going to have to go see a friend of mine later, because he grew up with Ronnie. He will be missed. :sadwavey:
