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!" Good Vibrations Motorsports specializes in supercharged and mechanical fuel
injection applications and also stock a very large selection of gaskets, fittings, safety equipment
and race accessories at discounted prices. Find them online at www.dragparts.com and be sure to sign up for their 25th Anniversary monthly

Texas will be sponsoring the Shootout for the NE2 racers. To be known as the Meyer Enterprises NE2

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." If you need custom or production machining work, no
job is too small or too big for the craftsmen at Meyer Enterprises. Located conveniently in the
North Texas area, the fabricators at Meyer work with steel, aluminum, titanium, plastics, rubber
and other exotic materials. The extensive equipment list includes CNC Machining, TIG & MIG welding,
sheet metal forming equipment, tube bending and their latest addition a Techni Water Jet unit. The
