I have to ask this if one gets up to 117 mph in 12.9 seconds and the other gets to 111 mph in 12.5 might the one that gets too 111 mph in 12.5 seconds get up to 117 mph if you ran it for 12.9 seconds?

Actually it was 115-116 at the same 12.9 seconds, see my previous post.
The distance covered increased 85 feet in that .4 sec, from 1,320ft to 1405ft

No. See my previous post. To go from 111 MPH to 117 MPH in only 0.4 seconds, you'd have to be pulling .64 G's. There's no way you are going to jump 6 MPH in .4 seconds at that speed. It would take closer to 2 seconds.

I'm not talking about distance at all just time and speed.
