There was supposed to be a grudge match between him and Bill Porterfield, but Bill had problems so even though there was a large difference in ET's (not in my direction) they came to me to fill in with Red Alert. Dales car was about a second or more faster than me, but they got me down to 3/4 of second. I probably would have gone off even just to say I raced a living legend so I was moderatly happy.
----I left with a decent light and Ronnie (used to going off even all the time) stood Dale's Hemi on the bumper and holed the pan on the way down. I'm not sure if he knew or not as he still tried to run me down, but I just barely edged him out! We were pitted next to each other and after the race I jokingly went over and gave him a Red Alert hat. As I was walking back to my pit I turned around and saw him throw it in a close by garbage can. He didn't like to loose!.....Bill S

Wow!

I think it was Wally Parks that said "if we had to drag race Russia to decide the fate of the free world I would want Ronnie Sox to drive for the US".

or something to that effect.
