While our eyes were trained on the 52nd March Meet, the IHRA was holding their second event of the 2010 season down in Louisiana at State Capitol Raceway, March 5-7. One of the things that the IHRA revived this season is the Elite 8 shootout, which pits the quickest eight qualifiers in Top Sportsman and Top Dragster run them heads up against the other quick competitors in their respective categories. Racer Alan Jones provided some excitement during last weekend’s action.
