100 Mph In 300 Inches ?

[Indycars]

Can this really be true ?

Don Schumacher Racing (DSR) employee makes the statement of 100 MPH by the time the
rear wheels cross the starting line of a Top Fuel Dragster with a wheel base of 300 inches.

It's also a bit funny watching the guys interview Leah Pruett while putting on her driving
suit and getting into the car.

146.667 fps equals 100 mph
300 inches equals 25 feet

I have heard a top fuel dragster is at 100 mph by 60’. Don’t know off hand their 60’ time but it seems I remember low .9 seconds. They are awesome rides.

I'm sure there is a math equation out there that can prove this true or false but its way beyond my brain power but so is 2+2
