Are you talking about MSR in Cresson or TMS.

MS and MJ Track Days. Ya Baby !!!!!!

I wanna be there too!
I can help you in the pit and also play the "screaming fan(s)" part.

MSR - that is the one South of Ft. Worth, right? Maybe Oak Hill.

Yeah, Never been to Oak Hill. [google] Hmm southeast of Tyler about 2 hours away.

I just had a thought, how the heck does one who want's to take photos on a track like this get around? I can walk around a 1/2mile track that's level. These tracks are huge and many elevation changes.

Dad can I borrow the golf cart?

**87gsxrnut** · 10-19-2007, 11:51 AM

We'll figure out something. Photographers usually pick on corner for the morning sessions, and one for the afternoon.

More updates:

Chain installed and adjusted, wiring harness all hooked up, new clutch slave cylinder hooked up and bled. Also filled her up with oil. All that is left to do is clean the carbs and get some air filters.

Getting there!

that frame is aluminum alloy, isn't it?

lookin good by and large.

**87gsxrnut** · 03-02-2008, 07:36 PM

Yep. One of the earliest aluminum frame mass-production bikes.

omegajim · 03-02-2008, 08:49 PM

upside, light. downside, once the frame is sprung, it's toast.

what kind of mileage does this bike have on it again?

**87gsxrnut** · 03-02-2008, 10:06 PM

Naah, been wrecked at least twice, once by me. Had it straightened, raced it for another half a season plus extra track days. Still tracks straight. No idea on the mileage.
