Who is that young man in the Yardley Mc shirt???
Seriously Wal, what a treat to stick Barry back in the thing, doesn't he look a tad pleased???
Nice helmet that, car looks great with new screen too, bugger the colour discussions, it's a fabulous looking car, enjoy it.

Jay Esterer getting ready to take the McBegg out for practice
Wally Willmott looking on.The motor ran well and strong, and everything else works fine.
This comes from Wally:
We have been making alterations each session trying to get rid of some ‘snap’ over steer it has.
Work in progress at the moment.
Re: The Mc Begg
Looks great Jerry, lap times look good.
I think the colour is just great. It has the depth of colour that George wanted - but in Begg yellow. Well done Team JayWal!

How nice it was to have the car run at Hampton Downs, and have Paul Radisich take it for a drive in the afternoon demonstration period.
