Theresa Wallach, Model 40 Norton


-SG- Peter Roydhouse sent me this somewhat dogeared photo copy and Richard identified the rider as Theresa Wallach. This picture was taken in 1939 after she had hired Francis Beart's 350cc Brooklands track machine to earn herself a Gold Star at 101.64mph (from Jeff Clew's "Francis Beart - a single purpose").
