O.K. I have several questions...

I ran my motorcycle at World Finals and had a great time.

I plan to do the same next year. I also want to someday build a car from the 
ground up. To get started I thought I would run my Dodge Stealth at World of 
Speed to get a feel for it and also try to join the 130 mph club. I don't 
think it will be as hair raising an experience as doing 170+ on two wheels 
but should be much more comfortable with AC and a stereo! Two questions to 
start with.

1) Do I have to tow my Stealth if it is only ran on the 130 mph club course 
and is a street car?

2) Is the run up distance prior to the timed mile (or is it only a quarter 
timed mile for the 130 mph club) a full two miles or is it less?

I'm not sure how long it will take me to reach 130 mph although I have had 
it up to 140 mph before.

Bonus Question: Do you typically see the same speedo error with a car as 
that with a motorcycle? My bikes speedo indicated 186mph when actual was 
about 176.
