It is also important to note that in chapter 673 base SPSM Naruto (Meaning he didn't have the Chakra cloak on) was fighting Madara and Madara couldn't dodge his Lava Rasenshuriken. Then Madara proceeds to absorb the God Tree (Which makes him even faster and stronger) and SPSM Naruto is capable of fighting him, and even dodges Madara's Light Fang (Which was confirmed to be lightspeed in the databook). Point is, SPSM Naruto is capable of keeping up with Madara speed wise even after he gets powerup, after powerup (Shinju + Rinnegan + Rinne-Sharingan).

"Also how do you figure Minato would beat the Fourth Raikage in a race? "

KCM Naruto is faster than the 4th Raikages fastest speed. BM Naruto is way way faster than KCM Naruto is. Edo Madara was capable of reacting to BM Naruto's shunshin. Why is that important? Because Hashirama (Who is just a bit more powerful / faster than Madara is) is slower than Minato. Minato's speed > Hashirama >= Madara > BM Naruto's shunshin > KCM Naruto's shunshin > 4th Raikage's fastest speed.

Madara literally said, "If I get hit by too many of those, it's gonna be bad" Referencing Gai's evening elephant, and also said "I must not let him hit me directly." If Madara was capable of it, he would have dodged or blocked. But guess what? He didn't.

Who said Hashirama is faster than Madara? What? Just because you're more battle capable, it doesn't mean you're faster. Look at Gaara and Lee. Lee completely decimated Gaara in terms of speed, but Gaara was still stronger and beat him. Also, this is a foot race, which is different than being fast in terms of striking speed. Like, the guy with the fastest hands in UFC can't beat Usain Bolt.
