How Far?

I've been mulling over the below story about the $400,000 car.

The police said he skidded over 1,000 feet.

That's over a fifth of a mile.
That's more than three football fields end-to-end.
That's more than the length of our largest aircraft carrier.


Imagine skidding from one end of the U.S.S. Nimitz(above) to the other, and over the end.

How fast do you have to be driving to SKID that distance?
