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?
damn, you beat me to the calculations, if that car passed him in 50 feet, that viper must of SLAMMED on the brakes or something, or that other car was a top fueler.
