Buddy Martin has been there, done that and has the t-shirt.
The famed & Martin portion of the legendary Sox & Martin duo has stepped up on the stage to tell one of his finest moments in the early 1960s when a cracked windshield was enough to get their car torn down in class eliminations at an AHRA event.
Hear the story in the words of a doorslammer drag racing icon when a cracked windshield from a towing incident was deemed a performance advantage.

Sox & Martin...MOPAR...them were the glory days NEVER to be repeated and the greatest ever.
I met Buddy Martin after his racing days, as he was getting in the used car business. I did business with him almost on a daily basis for a few years before finding out about him being the Martin, of Sox and Martin. That just shows you how humble of a Person he is. He is very smart and honest, very witty with humor, great head for business. Great Family Man. Watching this video took me back quite a few years. It has been 10+ years since I have last seen him, but I do think of him often.
he is died
@@socomcygnusx1 Ronnie Sox passed away a few years ago. I do believe Buddy Martin is still alive and well as of July of 2021.
The greatest racing team ever Sox and Martin. I saw them match race Bill Jacobs Kid Goat in Albany Ga. in the late 60's
Sox and Martin won. Great memories.
Absolutely! True legend of drag racing!
During the late 60’s I followed Sox & Martin to the point of buying a 1967 GTX. Then later a factory 383 GTS. I always thought I was Ronnie Sox when ever I raced. Having fun and living the dream. Love Buddy’s stories about real competition.
I met Buddy in 1997, when Roy Hill brought his chassis class to the GM plant, where I worked. Great guy.
Lol..... Take your Ass whoopin' and deal with it. The second beatdown is just icing on the cake! I hope you guys do a full interview with him.....
Sox & Martin is just a top! Really great video!
I do Want that Sox & Martin neon sign !!
Ronnie Sox and Buddy Martin was one of the reasons for my 69 Dart Swinger…..sans the Hemi of course.
They should have offered to crack each competitors windscreen before the re run to make the performance levels even😃
Simply the best, Martin,Sox, McCandless
'Of course i could have taken a baseball bat..and really made that thing fly' ..poetic justice Buddy.
Love them stories!
Good Stuff Man!!!!! Good Stuff!!!!!!!!
Nice job Buddy.....
I've competed in Sports my whole life from Football to Firearms and i can tell you the higher up the ladder you get, the Bitchier the Competitors get. I used to Team Rope quite a bit in the 90s and we had a saying. " The only difference between a Team Roper and a Puppy is that a Puppy quits whining after about 6 weeks".
Hats off to a fellow team roper from Connecticut. Also I enjoyed watching and listening to Buddy. A true legend to me
And..?
What's the explanation for the re run?
I'm more confused now after having watched the video. I guess it's just me.
Just a guess, but whoever Ronnie outrun probably used it as a reason to get another chance to beat him
and it was very hard to beat Ronnie.
Buddy Martin is my cousin
Buddy looks good for being as old as he is. I'm thinkin' late 80's.?
84, I believe and still going strong !
Buddy Martin is my cousin
All things Mopar!
So much more humble than Herb McCandless
When all drag racer were racers for pride. Now it all it's now $ is the only thing.
No they raced ford and Chevy and then mopar no brand loyalty there lol
Grossly Misleading Title ....so I TDed the video
God bless Chrysler!
