So sorry to hear about Sonny. Remember meeting him at the Cajun Nationals. David was driving. Brittney and I will have the family in our prayers.

Sonny you will be missed

RIP

My condolences to all the family of Mr Sonny Ray. Mr Ray was a real gentleman, we enjoyed talking with him when he was helping David Rampy win at the Grand National many years ago, he invited us to take the pictures in the winning circle. Always had great stories and all the time to talk to us. Will miss him. Claude Ruel

Sonny was truly a nice guy, a true Southern gentleman. It is sad to hear this news. God speed.

Here is a link to the 1979 Cajun Nationals. Sonny vs. Amy Faulk is at about the 30 minute mark.

Sorry to hear about Sonny's passing on. We were friends in the early 70's when we both raced 455 Pontiacs. A real good guy. Condolences also to his Children and family. especially to son-in-law David Rampy and wife. Bob Michael.

Very sad to hear. I never met the Sonny but will always remember him in the Jerry Hurley or Collins and Jones SS/DA Hemi Cuda's.

Godspeed and I know it wont help, but I'm hoping Rambo brings it home this weekend...
