65-85 under.

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.
