Think your'e fast or a Top Fuel Dragster is fast or the SR 71 Blackbird is fast.
Check this out. The World Land Speed Record, or air for that matter, is 6,453 miles per hour. It was performed at the Holloman high speed test track in New Mexico on April 30, 2003.
It was done on rails with a 4 stage rocket making over 200,000 lbs. of thrust per stage. It was accelerating at 150G or 150 times the force of gravity. You would have to be picked up with a blotter if you rode in something with that kind of force.
It was done on a rail that is level to 25 thousands along its whole length, in a Helium filled plastic tube, (to reduce friction and drag). It was hooked to the rail with a shoe like device that wrapped around the track, so it wouldn't leave the earth.
At 150G of acceleration it would complete the 1/4 mile in well under 1 second.
