65-85 under.

In reality- what’s the difference?
You ask for HP reduction or you ask parts or you do both.
A few continue building HP and either way it is accepted.
Still wondering what has swayed NHRA in this direction.
Out of the Big Three , who has the most reductions?

Merry Christmas!

Barry, what has swayed NHRA in this direction? The constant reference
to the fact that the present AHFS is a failure and they decided to try and do something about. If everybody runs all out it works, just like the old system.
Nobody wants HP, so if you think what we did before was sandbagging, wait
till you get a load of this year. Why will we do this? Because everybody wants an advantage. This is racing, we want to win more than the next guy,
qualify better than the next guy, make the best run in our class in the Nation,
bury the record with some serious MPH to show off our HP, and we don't want to give anything back, we want to repeat great runs all of the time. Is this the answer, probably not, but shortening up the window to -65 to -85
under, AND taking away mineshaft, there will be a large amount of HP added to combo's at adjustment time. It is not a favourite with many, but it looks like all we got. Association Races look better all the time. J.R.

I agree there should be mineshaft exclusions from the AHFS. It should be triggered by weather conditions and not the qualifying order. High barometer at or above 30.20 and below seal level conditions. Any runs during that threshold do not count. Just make sense.
