“It’s an honor to follow in my
brother’s footsteps and win this event.
He won it four times so I’ve at least
got one on him now.” — Andrew
Hines after defeating teammate G.T. Tonglet
in the final round of the $15,000 race-within-a-race
K&N Filters NHRA Pro Bike Klash presented
by eHomeCredit Corp
“We improved, but we’ll need to
be better on raceday. Everyone is going to
step up, you can count on that.” -- Angelle
Savoie after qualifying number two
“Whoever wins the 50th U.S. Nationals
will need both luck and skill.” — Craig
Treble after finishing in the 7th-place qualifying
position
“It was not the engine. It was not S&S.
It was not Star Racing. It was not G Squared
Motorsports. It was just the failure of a five-dollar
part. The bottom line is that we still have
a good bike, we still have a good engine, and
we definitely have a good rider.” — George
Smith, the other half of G Squared, after Ellis
was unable to make his first-round appointment
with Kurt Matte when his throttle linkage broke
in the staging lanes
“At times this weekend it looked like
we were on a roll with our performance here
in Indy, but just as quick the bike wouldn’t
really do what we were looking for, and that
is frustrating. The consistency wasn’t
there. We would make a good pass, followed
by one that produced less than anticipated
results.” — Treble on beating
Matt Smith in the opener, but falling to Antron
Brown with the same tune-up in round two
“My bike bogged a bunch at the start
against Bostick and that cost us big time.
I just couldn’t run him down. It’s
very disappointing because I thought we had
a real decent chance to win today.” -- Savoie
on her second-round loss to Chris Bostick
“I’ve now won the U.S. Nationals
twice in my career and that’s an unbelievable
feeling, trust me.” — Brown
after beating Shawn Gann in the final round
“All those troops doing all that hard
work overseas, this one is for you.” — Brown
again, dedicating the win to his U.S. Army
sponsor
