Is that a snow cave you are talking about?
It is racing . . . against the clock!
Just like ski racing is one competitor against the time clock.
Land speed racing is one vehicle against the clock/computer/elapsed
time measuring device.
You are racing against a speed/elapsed time benchmark set by another
competitor and trying to surpass that speed.
It is the "Worlds Fastest Motorsport Event".
