In an effort to bring more attention to the fun and excitement of grassroots nostalgia drag racing, the Southwest Heritage Racing Association presented by MalloryPrint.com proudly announced a new and exciting program for competitors in all three Nostalgia Eliminator classes for 2014. In each class, drivers will earn points based on qualifying positions at the first 7 SHRA events in 2014. At the 8th event of the year, the SHRA CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS to be held November 8th at the Texas Motorplex in Ennis, the top 8 points earners in each class will face off for one round to determine the two finalists of their class shootout. The two quickest winners of that first round will be slotted into the final, where the runner up will take home $500 cash and the winner will pocket $1,000!

The shootout in Nostalgia Eliminator 1 will be known at the Good Vibrations NE1 Shootout. Good Vibrations Motorsports based in Whittier, California is a huge supporter of SHRA nostalgia drag racing and Jim Maher and all the good folks at Good Vibrations where thrilled to support this quickest category of SHRA racing. Maher states, "The SHRA has put together a fantastic program for nostalgia drag racing and we felt we had to be involved in this NE1 Shootout program that has our kind of race cars!"

To be known as the Meyer Enterprises NE2 Shootout, Allen Meyer, owner of Meyer Enterprises, states "It was a natural fit for Meyer to support the great grassroots racing of SHRA, and we wanted to back the NE2 Shootout as our way of showing our support to nostalgia drag racing."
