Default Do the math

Estimate the “building car’s” speed by doing the following:

1) Count the number of vehicles that the building car passes before being hit by the vehicle exiting Funspot.

2) Determine the time in seconds that it takes for the building car to pass X quantity of vehicles before it gets hit.

3) Look up the average length of a vehicle in the USA.

4) Add a small buffer between the number of vehicles counted (maybe 1-2 feet?)

5) Determine the distance that the building vehicle traveled before getting hit, then divide by the total time it took (in seconds) to travel that distance.

6) You will now know how many feet per second the building vehicle was traveling.

7) Use this website to convert FPS to MPH: https://www.unitconverters.net/speed...ond-to-mph.htm

You will now have a decent estimate on how fast the building car was traveling. I did the calculations, so let’s see what others come up with.
