Not a chance. The world record for the flying 200m is 9.100 seconds (4.55 seconds per 100m). Going from a standing start is going to stretch that out a noticeable amount. Maybe 7 seconds?

I would also suspect that 100m isn't quite enough distance to reach a rider's overall top speed, or is that not your intention?
