In the most recent issue of Flash they mentioned that Wally West (the Flash) can also reach light speed by tapping into the Speed Force, so it makes the whole thing even more cloudy. I do think Flash theoretically has an edge however due to the fact that he now has the ability to "steal" the speed and kinetic energy from other people and objects in motion and use them to enhance his own ability. So theoretically, if Wally West absorbed the speed from Jay Garrick (Flash 1) and Impulse, and then raced Superman, he should be able to win.

That's a little fuzzy too, for some reason Flash doesn't seem to be able to steal the speed from ALL persons in motion. He can absorb the kinetic energy from objects in motion, but apparently he can only steal the speed from other people who tap into the Speed Force (Flash I, Impulse, Jesse Quick). In issue 198-199 he tried to absorb the speed from Zoom and failed, because Zoom apparently gets his speed from a source other than the Speed Force. Superman's speed, like all his powers, is a result of his cells processing the energy from Earth's yellow sun and NOT the Speed Force, so I'm not sure Flash could absorb Superman's speed.

At least that's as far as my understanding goes. I never did quite get the full grasp of the "Speed Force" concept.
