I wish them luck, but the premise is poorly thought out IMO. Using an aircraft fuselage designed for airflow at 30,000 feet to try to go fast at 0 feet is not how the records have been set in the past - this type of project has usually failed. The Brits did it right, using a chassis designed for speed at air pressures found at 0 feet elevation. Their craft didn't even look like an airplane without wings either.....
