More Information

Their drag racing careers earned them numerous major wins and several championships including NHRA and IRHA World Championships and the AHRA Driver of the Year for Sox in 1968. Ronnie Sox was named No.15 in 2001 for the "Top 50 Drivers" poll and many argued that his position on that elite list should have been higher. There was another reason for the success of Sox and Martin and that was their head engine man Jake King. He was a perfectionist, recalled Ronnie. "He was very laid back, very quiet. He would take his time." Coupled with the Sox and Martin driving tandem, the meticulous preparation of Jake King made the team the dominant force for years. These two guys were perfectionists and created a partnership that would go down in drag racing history and would cover the next four decades.
