Treble wins Pro Stock Motorcycle at
the United Association NHRA SuperNationals
June, 14 2009 -
Englishtown, N.J.
Pro
Stock Motorcycle final was decided on the
starting line when Treble took a .007 to
.061 lead at the Tree. Local favorite Eddie
Krawiec, who was seeking his first win at
his old stomping grounds, ran the
second-quickest time of the weekend, a
6.906, in the final, but the nearly .056 he
surrendered on the starting line did him in.
Treble powered to a 6.95 to claim the
victory, his second of the year and 14th of
his career.
“This track loves me, and I love it,” said
Treble, who has two wins in five final-round
showings in Englishtown. “I don’t know what
it is, but I really like it here. The guys
like Matt Smith and Eddie that went 6.90
were out of my league. I did not have a .90
in my bike. Of course, I don’t feel bad
about the final because Eddie whipped my
butt the last time we raced. I owed that to
him. I was doing okay on the starting line,
but I just let it fly in the final and went
.007. I should have done that the other
three rounds, but it worked. I’m looking
forward to the West Coast swing now. I’ve
got a major engine overhaul coming up after
Norwalk, and I can afford it now.
“Normally my brother, Don Banaski, and Scott
Williams are my crew guys, but neither one
of them could make it this weekend. I
recruited Johnny Thompson, then he broke his
leg Friday night, so Michael Phillips and
his crew helped us out. Michael is one of my
best friends, and I wouldn’t be out here
without him."
The final was the second straight round that
Treble won on a holeshot; he defeated Smith
in the same fashion in the semi’s, pairing a
.033 reaction with a 6.96 to better Smith’s
6.904, the quickest time of the weekend.
Leading up to those rounds, Treble ran a
6.93 and a 6.97 to get past Mike Berry and
Karen Stoffer.
