Thanks to the support of Alkydigger.com, the SHRA has increased the cash purse at each of their 8 events featuring the Nostalgia Eliminator 1, 2 and 3 classes. The winner of each race of the 8 event 2017 season in the NE1 class will take home $500, winners in the NE2 and NE3 classes will take home $400, and payouts below that will show some increases as well. The Championship points fund for the Nostalgia Eliminator classes increased significantly in 2016 and will continue in 2017 thanks to AlkyDigger's support.
Mike Chilando says Alkydigger’s mission is simple - Deliver quality new and used race and custom parts to my valued customers on time, at a reasonable price, and tell them what they need to hear, not what they may want to hear. Mike delivers on that message!
