Bio
LE (Louis Earl) Tonglet IV, Born December 14 1989 in New Orleans,
Louisiana. Son of NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle racer Gary Tonglet, and Brother to NHRA Pro Stock motorcycle drag racer GT Tonglet . LE started drag racing at the age of 10 when his Dad set up a custom Suzuki DS80 for him to run in the quarter mile. At 14, LE moved over to a Pro Stock Suzuki chassis, first with a stock 1100 engine then moving up to a modified engine that enabled him to run consistent 7 second ETs. In 2006 LE made his professional race debut at the AHDRA race at Summit Motorsports park in Norwalk Ohio on a V-rod Destroyer , where he qualified 6th and went all the way to the quarter finals before being eliminated. Following his debut at Norwalk, LE continued to improve his skills on the V-rod Destroyer and qualified 2nd at the next two races and made it into the semi final rounds both times. LE then just 8 short weeks later and only his fourth professional race took his first win at Bristol raceway on August 13, 2006. LE Tonglet continued in 2006 with more top qualifying positions and final or semi final round finishes, where he wrapped the season with another runner up finish at the finals in Las Vegas .

2007 has brought a new perspective for LE Tonglet. So far this season he has qualified #1 at 7 of the 7 races run so far this year and has won every race except one. And if that’s not impressive enough, LE has also set a new track record on the Destroyer at every race venue visited so far this year. As 2007 progresses, LE will do his best to continue to dominate the Destroyer class and work toward his ultimate goal to eventually cross over to NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle and carry on the Tonglet racing dynasty as both his brother and his father have done before him.
