NHRA's Most Controversial Decision — They Erased A Champion

They didn't ban him. They didn't beat him. They just changed the rules. Ronnie Sox won 6 out of 8 NHRA Pro Stock nationals in 1971 — the most dominant season the class had ever seen. So what did the NHRA do? They rewrote the rulebook. Overnight, his Hemi was forced to carry 106 extra pounds that no other engine had to carry. The next season? Zero wins. This is the story of how a sanctioning body used technical language to erase the greatest driver in Pro Stock history — not through competition, but through paperwork. Watch till the end. The numbers don't lie.
