"We will be getting our best engine back and
in the bike in time for qualifying on Friday.
If we can continue our streak from the last
three events and use some of the good luck we
have had in Sonoma in the past, we may be able
to win this one again." —
Craig Treble on his chance to back up his 2002
victory at the inaugural P/S Bike event at Infineon
"We have all of the tools and talent necessary
to win races and challenge for a world title.
In my heart, I know that's going to happen sooner
than later." — Antron
Brown on the power of positive thinking

"We're putting good bikes out on the track
every race. We just need to make sure us drivers
do our part. When that combination comes together,
the results are going to be there." —
Angelle Savoie echoing teammate Brown's thoughts
"It's been a long, tough road getting here."
— Connie Cohen after
qualifying 16th for her career-first NHRA national
event start
"The bike is moving around due to a headwind
situation. We are going to try a couple of ideas
to hopefully get around that issue. That alone
will let us run faster because when I have to
fight the bike it scrubs away elapsed time."
— Treble on the trouble
he faced on the way to securing the 5th-place
qualifying spot
"We've been really coming around the last few
races, so getting this number-one position is
not a total surprise." —
Savoie on her 7.084- seconds pass at 188.10
mph in Saturday's opening session
"Angelle is one of my idols and it was an honor
to race against her. I knew I had to cut a good
light because she has so much horsepower so
I was really concentrating. The bike left the
line really hard, but it started moving left
toward Angelle's lane and unfortunately I was
forced to lift or cross the centerline." —
Cohen on her early exit from eliminations
"Man, I was so close to cutting the perfect
light and I would have had her." —
Brown on leaving .001 too soon, then running
a quicker e.t. in the final against Savoie
"You always want to run the race through without
a foul to win it fair and square. But, I'll
certainly take it." —
Savoie on not looking a gift horse in the mouth
"I love it when we're number one because my
record shows that when I'm the number-one qualifier
I usually go on and win the race." —
Savoie again, after scoring her second victory
of the season and the 33rd of her career
