Jr. Fuel vs. Twin Engine Gas

Who was consistently quicker - Adams and Enriquez A/FD or the Jon
Peters Freight Train (AA/GD) Twin?

Also, if twins were the hot setup in Top Gas, why wasn't the same true
in Top Fuel. I know that there were some T/F twins, but they never met
with the same success that the Gas Twins did. I would imagine that if
the extra weight was a consideration in T/F, wouldn't it have also
been a consideration in AA/GD?

I've just been mentally crusing memory lane lately. Remembering the
people that innovated and did it because they could and because they
dug the hell out of it.
The aforementioned Adams and Enriquez and Freight Train. Pete
Robinson. Big Daddy. I'm sure I'm leaving out dozens of pioneers here.
The period from 68 to 75 may well be remembered as the golden years of
a sport that somehow to me has slipped beyond the reach of the
everyman. Maybe matching crew uniforms were the beginning of the end.
Don't know.

Thoughts?

I don't think the tires of the day could handle the power of two fuel
motors.
