Back in 1964 Glen Flint of Parkersburg, West Virginia was known around the local tracks as "Mike Brannon". It seems his business partners frowned on Glen spending his weekends racing around in circles so the alias. Picture taken at Hilltop Speedway near Marietta, Ohio.

Steve Enslow was from West Virginia and owned a 99. Is this his old car? When Tucker Nunnery drove it it had " Almost Heaven West Virginia" on the hood...

dan, don't remember a #99. he had the #66 usac car and nunnery drove a #56. enslow was a crazy s.o.b. always had the announcer page granny to the men's restroom. one time at lima gramps put my new bike together in the pits before the races and enslow rode it around the pits while I watched to torcher me...lol then a lot of drivers took turns.

Tucker did drive a #99, I seen him at Limaland back in the day. I don't know if this is the same car.

This is not Enslow's car. Completely different. I like the way the Pontiac lays over in the chassis.

Looks like a Pontiac engine.
