Well, I don't know the name of the racer who bought Sox & Martin's Road Runner after the 1969 season but do know for sure Eric Petosa from Staten Island, NY owned it by the late 1970s. The then 19-year-old's car was featured in an 1979 issue of Hot Rod Magazine. The kid had money...in fact, I saw him in Staten Island one night (circa 1987) as he drove past us with a white Lamborghini with his surname on the license plate. Having said that, I believe this is also one of the Petosa's who campaigned the Petosa Bros. funnycar back in the early 1990s with driver Mark Oswald behind the (butterfly steering) wheel.
