 It runs, and it sounds like a pissed off, rabid monster that hasn't eaten since the holidays.
Hold on to your hot cocoa.  January 1981- Dad is all packed and ready for the World Championship Snowmobile Derby in Eagle River, Wisconsin.
While Mom's Buick Opel made it to the event in fine order, the new-to-Dad Yamaha 340 SRX blew a track even before the first heat- it had previously been trail rode and the damage went unnoticed. He never made a main event race at Eagle River. This, along with his Manta entry the year prior were probably his best chances. His Manta was denied entry after he failed to produce a Nomex suit and a mercury switch in tech.  An original barn find 1976 Yamaha SRX suspension and one that spent several days with Dad getting blueprinted, plated and put back to better-than-new condition.
 And then there were four. Project Seven is one step closer to being what we want to make of it.
