3, Vampire, Draglist quotes Colin as having run 6.500 at 272 mph. sounds about right by my memory
2, Hellbender, Shorter career than Vampire, Draglist quotes Steve Horn as having run 7.46, but I am sure I saw sixes from the car.
1, Scorpion. Draglist quotes a 6.86 at 229 mph, but I have no recollection of Andy Hurdle even getting into the sevens with this terrible, terrible waste of tube and fiberglass. As to what happenned to it, who cares?

Sorry the draglist times are so vague, but their site really needs a cleanup, looking down the jet dragster list,there are sooooo many duplicate entries and so many times which are just wrong!

Cheers

Scorpion sat for ages in the traders area at the Pod and then disappeared, I've seen it a few times sitting in the yard behind gates directly oppposite the main gate across the road

I seem to recall it went missing once, can't remember when - some spectators allegedly had decided it would be a great idea to wheel it away one night...
