Every other race in the season has qual a day or two before. Why a week early?

Is that what these cars have at the rear wheels or would it be that at the flywheel? Seems like you would need more than that at the flywheel to race at 190 mph. From what I understand, it's at the flywheel and it's a rough estimate. Yeah I guess it would have to be since they are comparing that number to the fwhp on the Z06. I'm interested because I'm still trying to guess my car's top speed with 480 at the flywheel. Some day I'll have the safety equipment in place for a real test at Bonneville Raceway.
