Look what I found....from 2003
"In the opening round of eliminations, Bernstein faced legendary Don Garlits. Ironically, it was the first time a Bernstein had ever raced Garlits. Brandon's father Kenny never had that opportunity. When Garlits was campaigning the NHRA circuit in his Top Fuel dragster, Kenny was dominating Funny Car competition. When Kenny switched to the Top Fuel category in 1990, Garlits was racing on an intermittent basis. "
