Mickey Fay
A number of the Jollies scooted on down to Puyallup Fairgrounds on
Saturday 11/27/2010 to take in
Mickey Fay's NW
Extreme Flattrack Racing / Motorcycle & Quad indoor flattrack.
Despite the cold and the aluminum bleachers, the races were pretty
exciting, the track was large enough for passing, and some riders were
very good!
To some that do not know Mickey Fay (pictured above to the left along
with teammate Jeff Haney) is a member of the
Washington State Motorcycle Hall of Fame. Mickey holds his spot in
motorcycle history and was a frequent competitor and
winner at the famous Jolly Rogers
Motorcycle Club race track in Kent, WA.
About 20 years ago Honda introduced a 500 4-stroke single intended as a
dual purpose bike. Burien Honda's service manager Roger Stanley hopped
up the engine, Richard Washer (Wasco) made a frame, and Mickey Fay
became a member of
Honda's
Dirt Track Team and part of Honda's Grand National Flat Track
program. He won the '79 Houston TT (at the Houston Astrodome). It
was such an achievement for a bike never intended to be raced that Honda
ended up giving Mickey a factory ride for a couple of years. While in
the mix with the national competition, he never achieved a similar
distinction and is now promoting local races. See
