I'd have to say it is a hard call to make when you say someone was a better driver in those days in P/S over Ronnie Sox. As far as cars go back then there is no doubt Bill "BILLY the KID" Stepp had the nicest cars. I believe he was also the first to have a coil over rear suspension in a P/S car. I think 72 or 73??? Paul Frost was the guy behind Bills cars in the day. Even when he tried to make a comeback in the 90's his two cars then were works of art!

71 was a good year for Ronnie but not a good year for my dad. His car was involved in a towing accident not of his doing that totaled the car he wont the US Nationals in along with his Truck. They took Ronnie's 70 car and made it into a 71 and my dad drove it. In 1970 my dad drove for Billy Stopp in Modified at the Winternationals and got RU. They took the car to Gainesville the following month and Won. This was a 1968 cuda in AMP. Those days racing was fun and they actually made money. If anyone has any pictures of that area of Ronnie or my dad please email them to me as my Mom is putting togather a catalog of pics that will be second to none.
