If you like the ground-pounding, edge-of-your seat excitement and thrilling fire show of a jet-powered vehicle then you are in luck.   

Because the third Nitro Jam event of the 2012 schedule in Baton Rouge just got a whole lot more explosive.

The Mardi Gras Nitro Jam weekend will be rocking with nearly half a dozen jet-powered vehicles, wheelstanders, monster trucks and more. The Mardi Gras Nitro Jam presented by Domino’s Pizza will feature a pair of jet dragsters, the 30,000 horsepower Super Shockwave jet semi and just recently added the Hanna Jet Funny Cars “First Strike” and “Top Secret” in a side-by-side 300 mph showdown. 

Also in competition at the Mardi Gras Nitro Jam will be the Chevy Rebellion wheelstander and the much-anticipated State Capitol Raceway debut of the world’s only monster truck drag race between the world-famous Grave Digger driven by former Monster Jam world champion Randy Brown and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle driven by Joey Parnell.    

In addition to all the thrilling exhibition action, the Mardi Gras Nitro Jam will also feature four nitro classes including Pro Fuel Dragsters, AMSOIL Prostalgia™ Nitro Funny Cars, Nitro Harleys and Fuel Altereds and Pro Mods giving the Louisiana event the most unique lineup of racing vehicles found anywhere on earth.
