Another shot of Galloway's 69 Can Am car at Road America, labeled McLaren M6B. The entry lists on various historic sites consistently list that model as his car for 1969.

I'm thinking the picture supplied by Can Motorsports Hall of Fame may be incorrect, but the car was a M6B.

Holy moly, what a great story from the '69 Can-Am! (Road America). I was 9 and remember it as well as a nine-year-old kid already hooked on racing can, this story is top-shelf and so are the photos. The reproduction quality of the author's old slides is extraordinary and rare.The whole story of Galloway's efforts at Road Atlanta can be read here:

Here is another link that appears to show Galloway in a Lola T70 at the 1969 Watkins Glen Can Am.

He raced a T70 in 1968. I wonder if he still had it, and tried both at Watkins Glen.

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any images of Richard Galloway in McLaren M6B Chassis #50-14 at Texas, 9 November 1969 - specifically of the rear of this car?
Tamsoldracecarsite.net has © below image but it's the only one I can find of this version of the car, with a straight-edged rear wing and the bottom of the rear bodywork chopped off:
