Rosco McGlashan is a legend of Australian drag racing and motorsport. He is also the current Australian land speed record holder. A record he and the Aussie Invader team set in March 1994.
His early years were tough. He spent time in state-run homes and remand centres, eventually leaving home and school at the age of 12. He then drives north in Western Australia to find work, increasing his age from 12 to 16, to fund his racing career.
He fought everyone and everything and, at 17, ended up in prison and even solitary confinement. Once released, his salvation comes through his love of speed and raw horsepower. He focuses his fighting spirit and energy on racing and going very fast.
His V8 drag bike and jet dragsters take him from Perth and WA all over Australia, New Zealand and the USA. He meets some incredible people, leading to amazing adventures and tales that will leave you speechless.
Later, his motorsport career and quest for speed took him to other countries. He gets kidnapped by the Russian Mafia when trying to buy two MIG jet fighter engines and fights his way out. He crashes a car at nearly 600 mph. He also clinically dies on an operating table when another car he was racing went off a mountain road in driving rain. He was revived and went on to break many motor racing and land speed records.
He meets mass murderers and world leaders, then casually chats with the Dalai Lama. Eventually, Rosco turned his attention to capturing the Australian and world land speed records, a goal he set himself at age 12. In 1994, he beat Donald Campbell's Australian land speed record.
Rosco and the Aussie Invader team are putting the finishing touches to their latest record-breaker, the world's fastest and most powerful car, Aussie Invader 5R. This car has 200,000 horsepower, the equivalent of 200 Formula One cars! It can accelerate from 0 - 1000 mph in just 22 seconds.
