Dennis, this is the first time I've been able to see a photo of one of the #99 Al Grinnan modifieds at Southside. That car was owned by Sonny Hutchins (Sonny was driving Junie Donlavey's #90 Ford) and later was painted black with a starburst surrounding the #99. Car was originally yellow & white #27. I've really enjoyed these 1960s Southside clips you've been posting from the Richmond papers, Dennis. Thanks.
