TREBLE EXPECTS MORE FROM SUZUKIS IN ATLANTA

trebleCraig Treble is no Paul Revere, but he’s ready to shout another warning at the top of his lungs.

Treble wants the field to know the Suzukis are coming.

"Our qualifying in St. Louis kind of showed what we've got," said Treble, who lacks a win at Atlanta Dragway among his 14 career victories. "The unfortunate part is that we blew our good motor up. And we kind of chased our tails after that. The performance is there.”

Treble wants the field to know the Suzukis are coming.

"Our qualifying in St. Louis kind of showed what we've got," said Treble, who lacks a win at Atlanta Dragway among his 14 career victories. "The unfortunate part is that we blew our good motor up. And we kind of chased our tails after that. The performance is there.”

Treble went to the top of the Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying list provisionally two weeks ago at the NHRA Midwest Nationals in St. Louis.

"Steve (Tartaglia, crew chief) has a good handle on this Valvoline Motorcycle Oils Suzuki right now. It's teething pains for these new bigger motors (100cc's larger than in 2009). We're finding the weak links in them and one of them resulted in a really strange blowup.

"It was fast in St. Louis. We were low by a bunch on Friday, and on Saturday she came apart and we got behind the 8-ball after that.”

Treble, who rides for Don Schumacher Racing this season, ranks sixth in the point standings. While St. Louis’ qualifying might have served as both a feather and a shortcoming, he’s focused on the challenge at hand.

"That was then, this is now,” said Treble. “Steve's been working at a feverish pace at the Don Schumacher Racing shop and getting motors ready to go, so we should have some good, fresh and fast stuff for Atlanta."
