With premium track conditions in the late night second-round qualifying session, Craig Treble seized the moment.
Treble of New Orleans, came in with a 7.358-second mark, which put his
bike on top of the ladder during first day qualifying for the NHRA
Mopar Mile High Nationals in Denver, Co.
Treble is fourth in the national points standings with a 459 total.
"We're really satisfied," said Treble, who finished a career-best
second in points in 2002. "The first pass we made (Friday) was a scrub
past. We just got the motor back from Vance & Hines. It was at a
scheduled freshen up where it got a new crank, pistons and valves and
you can't go out there and whoop on those things on the first hit. We
went out there and had a very moderate setup on the first hit and got
down the track OK."
