Legal Question in Traffic Law in Louisiana

I got a "Careless operation of a motor vehicle" ticket in a public boat launch area while turning right and going up a small ramp. The levee officer said I made a peel out noise. I have and older, stock muscle car and I feel I was given the ticket because of my age and the type of car I was driving. Several adults said they would be a witness in court for me because I didn't do what the levee officer accused me of. Is this ticket gonna stick or should the ADA or DA understand my side of the story? I have never had a ticket or accident before this one. I feel I was discriminated against becasue of my age and vehicle. The same officer pulled over another kid in a similar type car after he finished with me but didn't mess with anyone else.
