This is in no way intended to be a negative thing against Ronnie Sox he was excellent driver and true pioneer and evidently they had something figured out if they could go faster with clutch type trans over Lenco.Which I know Lenco has more drag than non planetary trans.but it's still impressive to go faster with factory style 4 speed than Lenco.
Again nothing against Ronnie Sox just trying to figure out and did any other drivers slow down when they changed to planetary trans?

Ronnie Sox was just that good. He was a natural driver.The reason for the rule change is that a few certain stick drivers who couldnt drive a nail with a hammer whinned loud enough and were tight with "The Man" in Calif. !
