Lone Star Yamaha will also be on hand with merchandise and motorcycles for some CMRA weekend only specials that can’t be beat.
The weekend activities begin at 7:00 am Friday with a CMRA license school, racer practice, and street rider track day provided by Lone Star Track Days (www.lstd.com). CMRA Registration and Tech Inspection will be open from 3:00 – 6:00 pm.
