Recently,
the editors of Drag Racing Online, were asked what drivers
have won the most rounds against what driver. The editors turned to drag
racing statistical expert, Jim Hawkins. Jim responded with the following
analysis of the ten most wins by any driver since 1990. Top Fuel, Funny
Car and Pro Stock are reported.
Here is how to read the data...on the first line, Joe
Amato has a record of 23 wins and 18 losses verses Kenny Bernstein,
since 1990. A breakdown of his w/l record is as follows: He has out
run (good) Kenny 12 times, won because Kenny aborted a run 8 times,
holeshot Kenny twice, and won once because Berstein redlit. His best
et, mph and reaction are also listed.
