The Man Who Shifted Faster Than an Automatic Transmission

Ronnie Sox wasn't a Gasser legend he became something even rarer. Before winning five NHRA Pro Stock championships and becoming one of the greatest four speed drivers in drag racing history, he spent years mastering clutch control, powershifting, and racecraft on small airport drag strips across North Carolina. This documentary explores Ronnie Sox's forgotten early years, from his first street races in Burlington to factory deals with Pontiac, Chevrolet, Mercury, and ultimately Chrysler. Discover the story behind the legendary Sox & Martin partnership, the Paper Tiger altered wheelbase Plymouth, the BO29 Hemi Barracuda, and the incredible skill that reportedly allowed Ronnie Sox to shift gears faster than an automatic transmission. If you enjoy classic NHRA history, Pro Stock, Super Stock, Funny Cars, factory muscle cars, and the golden era of American drag racing, this is the story you've been waiting for.
