four , Joe Kopp passed Strode for fourth,
then a lap later went by Stanley for
third. As soon as Kopp had passed Stanley, a five-rider crash involving
Yamamoto, Wincewicz, Hiatt, Trulson
and Carver brought out the second red
flag of the race. Lots of repairs were
made during the 15 minute delay that
followed .
On the single-file restart, Annen was
out fast ahead of Fay, Joe Kopp, Strode
and th e rest, bu t Simonsen and
Wincewicz crashed on the first lap and
bro ught out yet another red flag. Simonsen was slow to get up, but signaled that
he was okay. Again, a lengthy delay for
repairs followed.
Of course, Annen led the way on the
restart, but this time Fay snuck past and
into the point.
"Jeff must have bobbled or missed a
shift going into tum one, because that
was just the open door I was waiting
for," said Fay.
Once in the lead, Fay rode his Paul
Peiroli Racing/Downtown H-D/Maxirna/Pro Sports/Bell/Vince Holt/Scott
USA/Hinshaw'S Honda/Farding Racing/Jim Roseth/Works Performance/
Hoffman Engine Dynamics/Lester's
Machine/Joe McCoy /Dirt Track Number plates/ Tom Houseman-Rotax to an
easy win. The crowd went wild as Fay
began to pull away . At the halfway
point, Fay was 30 yards ahead of Annen,
Kopp and Stanley.
Stanl ey went around the outside of
Kopp several times , bu t was never able
to make a pass stick. With five laps to go,
Fay was crossing the finish-line area
when Annen and the rest were barely
working their way through tum four.
Fay held a single finger in the air as he
raced past the white flag. and went on to
score the win ahead of Annen, Kopp and
Stanley.
"I'm really excited, but Orris Carr is
still the best - he's phenomenal," said a
humble, ye t excited Fay, after the race .
"If he'd have been here, he would have
made enough points to clinch the title
even if I won. That's racing tho ug h. I
know Orris will be happy for me, he's a
cool guy."
