As of this post I have heard from Stewart and Joe Pappas, who is a long time friend of Carlton and still in close contact with his family. Over the years that I knew Carlton I do not recall that he had a GTX. As all of my contacts and others on this post know Sox & Martin had an army of cars out on the tracks in those days. It is a possibility that Don could have driven a Sox & Martin GTX. If you have photos or have the car, there are always people who can look at the car and give you an honest opinion as to it being a Sox & Martin built car. Almost every year there is an old race car at the East Coast Drag Time Hall of Fame Reunion in Henderson, NC which we, the old racers and crew members, are asked to try to verify that a car is a "Historic Race Car." By the way there are ways to look at the construction of a car and be able to determine who, more than likely built it.
