Comment:

07/24/04 Bob  Hoffman. This car had square tubing for the roll cage. When we built this car I argued with Carl Yetman Sonnys dad about the safety of square tubing. Carl said   it was as strong as round tubing. While running in a feature race at East   Windsor Sonny was involved in a wreck that put the car up ln the  air. The car came down on the center of the roof right on top of the fence  causing the roll cage to collapse. Sonny had a deep cut on his neck and his  helmet was cracked. If he had leand the other way he would have been  killed. Thankfully Sonny survied. 

Last I heard of Sonny was living out west.
