Just thinking outloud here, but can you really push a motocycle streamliner to 40 mph?
Tom
Tows and pushes are allowed for the streamliners, but I believe most of the specifics fall under the general grey area of doing so safely and without an unusual delay to the other participants. They don't want push vehicles running down course or digging grooves trying for a big push. So, something good to bring up at the rookie meeting since you want the starter and observers to be happy. Bring your push/pull driver too.
If you check out the SCTA website there is a link to a pdf on rookie orientation, medical forms, tech inspection form, and such.
If you run Bud Trials, the AMA has it's own rules as does the FIA if you are going for a world record.
Mmmm, there where some check-lists about too. Sorry, someone will know where to look (senior moment I guess).

Opps, my bad, four wheels: J/GS 218.100 (tracked down your intro, though one wheel shown in the sketch).
Geared for 230 mph That's 4476 RPM at 40 mph. The shifts are easier, but there is even more weight.
You would think same torque and horsepower input, but the fun starts when the wheels slip then grabs and the vehicle's weight acts harshly on metal bits. New things have a way of finding their weakness, much more so with a heavy foot.
