Several followers have said they would buy ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth, but not from Amazon. The good news is that there is another way now. books.by/rosco-fastest-aussie-on-earth#rosco-the-fastest-aussie-on#booksby #IndieAuthor #roscomcglashan #selfpublishing #dragracing #landspeedracing

Looking forward to seeing you burning and turning! The book is a great read !
Quick question … Like everyone else, I’ve been watching Rosco build his next challenge, bolt by bolt. But, when are we likely to see this missile on wheels show us what it can do?

A fantastic read. 🤗 highly recommended for anyone even vaguely into speed records, engineering, Aussie ingenuity & a team of people with a never say die attitude. Great book
A fabulous book about a true Aussie legend! I loved it 😍
Forget all the celebrity life story books, get Rosco's. A great read, full of fun, laughter, emotion and struggles.
RIP you legend. ❤️ If you want to read some great stories about Ken Warby. Get a copy of ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth. There are some really funny stories about Rosco and Ken who worked and played together for many years.

Jesus…. I just realised that was in mph. Epic speed for 45 odd years ago! RIP Ken
A true legend
Later this month David Warby undertakes more testing of his boat Spirit of Australia 2 - The Fastest Team on Water. We thought it would be good to share this history of the water speed record. Good luck David.

It is an unforgiving environment when things go wrong. That said, everything is unforgiving at real speed
I have the DVD of the Bluebird Water Speed Challenge and the crash. (collectors version) I met Gina Campbell in 1990 at Taupo New Zealand she was attempting the water speed record held by Heather Spurle holder of the Woman’s World Water Speed Record. The lake was too rough and she had limited runs. A very nice lady with the courage of her dad Donald and grandfather Malcolm. Gina did break her own record in New Zealand, achieving 166 mph in a three point hydroplane.
I saw this today, is this the same boat/challenger? youtu.be/3-ktSdDkcsk?si=gGAd-amV040YShaM

60 years ago!On this day in 1964, Tom Green set a new World Land Speed Record of 413.20 mph (698.50 km/h) in Walt Arfon's jet-powered Wingfoot Express. Green would hold the record for just three days, until Walt's brother Art Arfons snatched it away during a frenetic period of record breaking on the salt flats.S&G told the amazing story of the 1960s Battle Of Bonneville in this video, published back in 2019:youtu.be/-kPGaQdKL1MPhoto credit: Heritage Image Partnership Ltd / Alamy Stock Photo #landspeedracing #landspeedrecord #speedracing #speedrecordclub #landspeedracingusa Land Speed Racing USA Speed Record Club Aussie Invader - World Land Speed Record Challenger @land_speed_racing #OnThisDay

Wanneroo Mens Shed visited our newly transformed workshop, with the new “Epoxytek” floor proving a big hit. Rosco gave a presentation and guided tour of Aussie Invader 5R. If you have a party of about 25 - 50, we can accomodate you. For details please go to our website and use the contact us form.

That floor is very impressive
All looking good Rosco, I wish you well. I am sorry you don't have a competitor like The Bloodhound Project, which looks as though its finished as a project. But there is Waldo Stakes' Sonic Wind from USA in the making...
How long until this beast tears up some salt Rosco?
