Jeff, ask your local public library if they have the old R.L. Polk city directories for that town, and then check the reverse address lookup or the classified section. If they don't, ask which public library might have them.
Amazing what you can find in those old directories.

Motor Sport Research later became Pro Motor Engineering and moved to Mooresville North Carolina to Build Nascar Engines.

There was an MSR franchise in Milwaukee on Loomis Road, maybe 1971-1974 or so.

Does anybody remember the names of the people at MSR? And I believe that had a location up in the Waukeagn area too.

I found out today that there were 4 MSR locations, all owned by the same people. The locations were Waukegan, Des Plaines, Milwuakee area and I believe Downers Grove. Des Plaines was the main location that housed the machine shop.
