The wildly popular 68' 69' match races between Sox & Martin and Grumpy was a major reason why NHRA started the Pro Stock class in 1970. The fans wanted to see big motors race heads up and go fast. Sox & Martin and the Grump gave them what they wanted. Grumpy won the first Pro Stock meet running in the 9s but Sox & Martin won the first championship. I hope Ronnie can now win this battle with cancer.
