I tend to agree, however, things might change if you add gps. You'd might just transmit your own speed and location, although you will probably hate the precision of that without DGPS (which may never work on the Freerunner) and if may not work al that well indoors. But GPS could also solve the first problem you mentioned, it can provide the same clock to the two device. That leaves only the 'exact measurement' to be solved. It might work, but the precision will probably still be far to low to be useable for anything.
