.... they're British, and for them the land speed record is a national hobby, like soccer riots, chronic public inebriation and complaining about the weather.

Balancing Act
At 1,000 mph, it's vital to maintain constant loading on the wheels at all times, despite the fact that the car's weight alters radically during the run. "We burn one ton of HTP and a half ton of jet fuel," says Piper, "so our 6.5-ton car drops to a weight of 5 tons in 80 seconds."

So it's like a jet that doesn't take off. Has there ever been a machine that served less purpose? God forbid they use their smarts to create something useful for humanity. I wish their goal was at the very least to create a machine that used very little gas rather than lots of it.
