Here is the new book on Rosco McGlashan - fastest in the southern hemisphere.
It is a good read with lots of real personal drama going fast.

Rosco's Aussie Invader 5R has been called The Blue Flame on steroids. It is much more than that, actually. I didn't realize the immense size of Rosco's LSR car until they created a scale illustration of The Blue Flame and the Aussie Invader side-by-side. It looked larger in photos of both with crews alongside. This photo comparison tells the story.

Dick, it looks like the Blue flame is a pocket rocket!  :-P

Correct! But it was the right size for the job at hand in 1970.
