Some people just want to go as fast as possible and remember these are world record breakers. It's cool to be able to say I am the worlds greatest at something out of many many billions of people.
You'll also find that all of the land speed record machines are talled extremely tall. Rapid acceleration is not a factor, keeping the engine in the powerband once you get up to speed is.
Often you'll find even the big V8 powered machines will need a push to 80km/h before they are able to pull away under their own power.
