What do you call a drag racing team that drew fans to the tracks
across America for big-engined match race action, and then helped
create a new class while dominating the NHRA doorslammer ranks and
putting on performance clinics aimed at driving customers into his
sponsor's showrooms? There's only one name for a team like that:
Sox & Martin. Teaming up in the early '60s, the All-American duo of
Buddy Martin and Ronnie Sox flat out dominated the match-race scene
and became the winningest Pro-Stock team of their era. The adage
Win on Sunday, Sell on Monday was widely recognized by automobile
manufacturers and Sox & Martins' success on the track lead to a
partnership with Chrysler. With factory support directly from
Chrysler, Sox & Martin played a critical role in boosting the
potential of new car sales that drag racing represented by hosting
Performance Clinics in the towns near where they raced. Theses tech
sessions held at dealerships across the country allowed car guys a
chance to meet and talk with team members and ultimately get
answers to help them with their rides. One of the most famous and
successful race cars from the Sox & Martin team was the 1968
Barracuda nicknamed 'Lil Boss. This recreation of the iconic race
car is all business with its massive 426 Hemi engine producing
nearly 1,000 horsepower! The light-weight Barracuda tips the scales
at a mere 3,000 lbs. and features a full race-spec drivetrain and
chassis. The caliber and precision of all work performed on this
unique race car is of a very high quality. An extensive equipment
