Rosco appeared at Theo’s Run motor show in Dowerin during April 2011, and too his surprise they had managed to track down and display the rocket powered Go-Kart he broke the world record in. This is an interview with Rosco talking about the machine.
In 1980 whilst living in the USA, Rosco was instrumental in the development of a rocket-powered Go-Kart in which he reached 253 mph (407 km/h) over the quarter mile in 5.9 seconds.
“It was an incredible feeling, sitting in that thing with the fuel bubbling and gurgling just behind your head and then hitting the throttle” says Rosco with a smile “It was truly an awesome machine”.
