Sonny McCoy Passes
 

Sonny McCoy was a racer from Long Island's West Hampton raceway years ago. He passed from injuries sustained from a racing accident somewhere in the Carolina's. He was always wanting to race for $, run what you brung. I personally have not seen him in 10 years at least, but I will remember him for bringing big money races to W.H.

Sonny was killed at Outer Banks Speedway in Creswell, NC about 2 hours north of me. Not sure what happened though I have some second and third hand information probabably just best to leave it at that. Always sad when someone passes but atleast he was doing something he enjoyed. James

Paul I meant that Jimmie used to run against him,if I remember correctly.I was standing at the fence during one of Jimmy's burnouts and the damn car blew the oil filter off.What a mess.

Yea Ed, Jimmy and car were full of misshaps. One time his plexiglass windshield broke apart and almost took his head off, then there was the first time he put nitrous on the car and almost crashed from the wheelie. What once was a nice Hemi Super Stocker was reduced to scrap in just a couple of years.

Sonny McCoy was a true Hampton ICON. Always had a kind word, especially if you made him money that day. RIP my friend

Jimmy and I were the best of friends, the day that the windshield broke, I told convinced him to wear a full face helmet before he made that pass, it probably saved his a@@. The car went over 140 MPH for the first time and we found out that the windshield was the weak link. Not many people know that we switched motors from a 440 to a 505 and added 200 shot of nitrious. We went to Atco with the car to test, it was cold out so the nitrious wouldn't work out of the gate, so he hit it about 300' out, put the car into a wheel stand at half track. The anouncer said that he didn't know what we were doing, but to please stop on account of safety. Those were the days!
