The 33 1/3 second mystery #24

You own a fast sports car, capable of 200 MPH on the flat. Your buddy runs a top fuel dragster and holds the record. You challenge him to a race, based upon you getting the advantage of a flying start.

When you cross the starting line at 200 MPH, he gets the green and chases you. Who gets to the end of the quarter-mile first?

Assumptions: You maintain 200 MPH over the course. No mechanical issues on either side. He can duplicate his best time.

As in school-guessing will not win. Show your math and cite to win the fuzzy bunny.
