See the links above Steve, Vampire and Hellbender. Hellbender had a fatal crash in 1981 (Mark Woodley), Vampire nearly killed Richard Hammond in 2006.

If it was not the Hellbender crash that killed Allan 'Bootsie' Herridge then how was he killed??

I know both Hellbender and the identical Vampire jet cars were both built by 'Bootsie' Herridge.

Bootsie was my favorite driver when I was a lad. He did just about everything to build the sport up to what it is today.

Quote from HSE report

15. The two jet cars were prominent in the British drag racing / jet car scene until Hellbender was involved in a fatal crash in 1986 at Santa Pod. Hellbender suffered a suspension failure whilst participating in a side-by-side drag race with Vampire

An old girlfriend of mine is a friend of Sylvia...didnt know anything about her Drag racing history
Then she told me her mate Sylvia had just had some "work" done and asked if she should too ? then went on to tell me she used to race cars
I put 2+2 together and asked if her last Name was Hauser...she said that it was...still not bumped into her yet, but guess i will sometime soon as Yvette and Sylvia live close to each other.
in North West London
Biggest and strongest hands ive ever noticed on a woman when i shooked her hands at Geofs many years ago :shock:

She is gonna be driving again soon too :thumbright: 8-)

I find it amusing that when she wanted to race she married a race car builder.
As soon as they decided to pack in racing she divorced him.

I love women me. :D :thumbright:
