In 2006, while filming an episode for the series Top Gear, presenter and driver Richard Hammond was critically injured in a crash with the jet dragster, Vampire, that he was piloting. More modern jet dragsters such as Robert Albertson's Blazing Angel are capable of reaching over 300mph in a quarter of a mile.
