The average speed of the top fuel dragster is around 315.67mph and 3.928 seconds.
Back in automotive history (Approx. 1930s) the method of testing car speed was to have newly built, stopped test vehicle with engine running at ready. Then another very fast car would pass the test vehicle at 100 mph and measure how many miles it took for the New car to catch up.
Speeds and Times are important but are sometimes difficult to visualize.
Hence, using those old methods, take a modern top fuel Dragster at the starting line waiting for a 100 Mph car to pass the dragster, thus tripping the green light for the dragster. (This is for the standard old distance of a 1/4 mile dragstrip)
After the dragster dropped the clutch to speak) it would pass the 100 Mph car at about 1/3rd the length of the 1/4 mile distance.
By the time the 100 Mph car reached 1/2 (1/8th mile) of the length of the 1/4 mile track, the top fueler would be crossing the finish line.
I find this to be impressive and easier to visualize.
