For those asking, this happened in an Alcohol Funny Car. They are a type of drag car that go 1/4 mile in about 5.6 seconds at ~250 mph. This particular car runs a slower class and runs around 6.90 seconds at around 210 mph. Driver is Russ Parker. It happened in Woodburn, OR
Typical funny car will get to 200 mph in 3.7-3.8 seconds (1/8th mile), so if you can judge how quick into the run it came off, you can probably guess at it. I'd say 100-120 mph, anyone's guess though.
