Aussie Invader 5R - Rosco McGlashan Presents Australia’s World Land Speed Record Contender
Rosco McGlashan has enlisted a skilled team to build a car for Australia capable of breaking the sound barrier and moving on to 1,000 mph. The car is Aussie Invader 5R, powered by a liquid bi-propellant rocket engine producing around 62,000 lbs of thrust (about 200,000 horsepower). The car weighs about 9 tonnes fully fuelled and will be capable of accelerating from zero to supersonic in 20 seconds!

Cheryl and I attended the Gosnells Golf Club last night to present our project to the Southern Districts Rotary Club. It was a great night. It was a “thank you” to Rick lending us the specialised scales we needed to weight our car, minus all its internals recently.
