THE PUZZLE

The Puzzle

Two cars start from point A at the same time and drive around a looped course 1.3 miles in length. The loop is paved with a colored asphalt [dark slate gray, #2F4F4F, rgb(47,79,79)]. While the cars are driving laps around the circuit, each car must maintain a steady speed.  Since the cornflower blue [#6495ED, rgb(100,149,237)] car is faster than the firebrick red [#B22222, rgb(178,34,34)] car, one car will pass the other at certain points.  The first pass occurs 150 yards from point A.  The temperature at the time is 19 degrees Celsius and it had not rained in 6 days. How many yards from A will one car pass the other again?
