Great man. He was an excellent engine builder for years and built some impressive power. Thanks Sonny for all you have done for motorsports. RIP.

Yes he built some huge cubic inch motors. A 1,000 cubic inch BB Chevy style design. Unreal.

Sonny was one of our most interesting customers. Full of knowledge and humorous stories.

A great loss to motorsports. RIP.

Used to drive by his place 2X a day going back and forth to work. Good ole country boy. Sad to see him go.
