A: 703 MPH. (I think the time is 0.97 which would be 70.3 MPH)
Convert the time and distance to speed: 100/0.97 = 103.1 feet per second
Convert this to MPH by multiplying by 3600 (seconds in an hour) and then
divide by 5280 (feet in a mile):
103.1 * 3600 = 371160 feet per hour
371160 / 5280 = 70.295 MPH
Kraig is correct. This is the average speed over the 100 feet.

Q:The question asked was with .097 time to go 100 feet what is the Max's
speed - how do you figure this out?
A:With a radar gun. It can be done by math, but you are going to get the
average speed he went, not his top speed at 100 feet.
Case in point: The V-Max and the Confederate V-Twin have the exact 1/4 mile
times, but the V-Max is 15 miles per hour faster. This means that the
Confererate launches faster but the Max has caught him and is in fact
passing him at the timing lights. Both bikes if you do the math will have
the same average course speed, but very different top speeds.
