I wanted to write this book, as I felt this story was just too incredible not to be told. My book, ROSCO The Fastest Aussie on Earth, is about my friend Rosco McGlashan. He is an Australian drag racing champion, land speed record holder and motor racing legend. I have always been fascinated with mechanical problems, and land speed records and drag racing are about solving problems. I have been working with Rosco to build the world's fastest car (Aussie Invader 5R), in which Rosco and the Aussie Invader team hope to break the world land speed record and achieve a 1,000 mph (1,600 km/h). The Aussie Invader 5R project is a testament to dedication and teamwork. For 15 years, I've poured my heart and soul into this labour of love, working alongside Rosco and some of the world's best mechanics, engineers, and rocket scientists. We've all volunteered our time and expertise, driven by a shared passion for pushing the limits of speed. The book's goal is to help raise awareness of our land speed record attempt, with the proceeds from the book going towards supporting our challenge.
