Sox & Martin: The Most Famous Team in Drag Racing

Author Jim Schild has amassed a wealth of history to put together this volume of the history of perhaps the greatest drag-racing duo ever. HEAVY focus on the cars they campaigned as a team, and later on in Ronnie Sox's life. The photos alone are worth the cost of the book....any enthusiast of the glory days of Super Stock/early Pro Stock drag racing should have this in their personal library.

My favorite team of all time, because in addition to their other cars, they raced the '69 RoadRunner!!This book contains excellent narrative discussion of the guys, and the team.Illustrated with the most beautiful pictures of the cars the team raced.Lovely, excellent color.What a wonderful walk down memory lane!!!

Great book. I remember watching Ronnie race against the other great drivers of the day in the early Pro Stock years. This book educated me on the early Sox and Martin cars. I enjoyed it.

You don't have to had been around when Ronnie Sox, Buddy Martin, and Mopar were crushing opponents to enjoy this history book. I was around and finally a behind the curtain view of how the greatest team ever in SS/FX and Pro Stock drag racing got it done. Great Book!!

If he is not your hero then you never saw him race. I don't care what your brand preference is. A true professional, and the book does and excellent job at showing us why.

As a personal friend of Ronnie, This book told me things that I did not know and I grew up with him. Well written. Great! Pictures. A must have for Drag Racing Fans. Jim Schild did a heck of a job.

good

Good book very informative I have always been a Sox and Martin fan, my race car is painted in there color scheme it is a Plymouth also.

Awesome,a lot of info.

Für mich üben die Mighty Mopars der mittleren sechziger bis Anfang der Siebziger eine ungeheure Faszination aus. Deshalb fahre ich selbst einen 1968 Plymouth Road Runner.Das Drag-Racing Team Sox & Martin hat in seiner Geschichte im Wesentlichen auch nur Fahrzeuge der Marke Plymouth über die Viertelmeile geknüppelt. Dabei war Ronnie Sox besonders für sein Power-Shifting berühmt. Die Erfolge sprechen auch für sich.Das Buch nimmt einen mit zurück in eine Zeit, in der es motormäßig scheinbar keine Grenzen gab und der Chrysler-Konzern mit seinen Hemi-befeuerten "Super-Cars" noch das Maß aller Dinge war.Mit diesem Buch konnte ich die letzet Winterpause medial super überbrücken.Heimlich überlege ich jetzt, auch meinen Runner die volle Sox&Martin "Kriegsbemalung" zu verpassen :-)Etwas schade ist, dass solche Bücher nicht auch ins Deutsche übersetzt werden, da so eine Menge potentieller Leser, die englischsprachige Bücher zu anstrengend finden, aussen vor bleiben.
