I had a ball at the Inaugural Mardi Gras Nationals at State Capitol Raceway! What I thought was great, Sat. and Sunday, was the track surface. Seven of the 8 Top Fuel qualifiers were under 4.900 seconds. Most of the field ran over 300 MPH.

The IHRA 1/4 mile Pro Mods put on an excellent show. They were my personal favorites. The Pro Mod Camaro of Raymond Commisso set a new IHRA Pro Mod record of 5.970 @ 246.08 MPH (His Camaro is the same color blue as mine. I like his silver flames, but mine will be different)!

The 1/8 mile Outlaw Pro-Mod final was a all Louisiana show. IHRA was nice enough to add this class to the program to give our local guys a place to compete. Outlaw Pro Modified final results — Bill Doucet, Chevy Corvette, 4.111, 189.42 defeated Joseph Palmisand, Corvette, 4.243, 173.87! Congratulations Bill!
