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.

A friend of mine has an invoice for some engine work he had done at their Des Plaines shop in 1977.The name on the work order is Buzz Fyhrie....I can't remember if it was Gary Baker that worked there or not?

Jim Swan was the main guy that started Motor Sports Research. I believe he currently owns or is affiliated with the Yamaha dealership in Downers Grove (DGY Motorsports).
