Terrible... I don't think they have cured any disease since polio..cancer has taken a lot of good people before there time. A shame...

Bad news. How old was he ? I remember seeing him and some of his cars in Hot Rod Magazine etc about 25-30 years ago. An era gone by.

Never will you repeat such a rivarly as Sox & Martin vs. Da Grump. My favorite of all time, this original signed by Ronnie Sox & Bill Jenkins should be posted here in honor of one of the best Pro Stock Gentleman ever. God Speed Ronnie.

My daughter was just at the Mopars at the strip in Vegas and helped action off some numbered prints and it raised 60,000 dollars towards cancer research in Ronnie's honor. Buddy Martin was there and he autographed the prints if the buyers wanted. Ronnie was a very humble and gracious man. I met him when I was 16 years old and I got to meet him again in 2000 and he signed some of my diecast and my racing jacket. I will never part with any of those items. He was and always will be my favorite racer.
