ok im going to say both cars were in the viscinity of 147mph

to convert mph into fps(feet per second) you use 1.44

147 x 1.44 = 211.68 feet per second

now 50ft... thats what at question here. 211.68 / 50 = 4.22

1 (second) / 4.22 = .2369

which means you guys went an extra .2369 seconds (even less if your saw speeds higher then 147)

so do you think about 1/4 second before the race ended the winner was losing?
