Default Re: Sonny Ray R.I.P. (DAD -CHAMP- FRIEND)

Seems that Sonny and I were always going to battle at Division 4...we had back to back races...Sonny and I were in the finals of the points meet just before the Cajun Nationals...got lucky and won that race...Sonny dusted me for the big $$$ at the Cajun. He was everyone's favorite. He was fun to be around...except on the starting line! Great racer...with a great love for family and friends. Will cherish all the memories.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'll always remember Sonny as a real gentleman and a fierce competitor in a race car. I remember in 1981 he and I were both division super stock champs. But Sonny and his son-in-law, David, finished one ahead and the other behind me for Winston World points (3,4 & 5) with Sonny in the lead. Sonny was always open and friendly to everyone. Possibly his greatest accomplishment was the fine family he helped raise and the examples he set for them to live by.
May you rest in peace old friend.

I was given a very nice honor this past Saturday night. Mr. Ray's family was in attendance at the track I announce at, Green Valley Speedway's 3/8mi. dirt track in Glencoe, Alabama. The same grounds the drag strip was on that Sonny won many shows. His grandson came to the tower and asked me to say a few words and have a moment of silence. So just before the nights Dirt Late Model races I did just that. His grandson came up and thanked me, it was my pleasure and honor. Saw Mr. Ray race many a time back in the day, one heckuva racer.
