Lots of tow vehicles that could do that. Local Chevy dealer used to tow
his show / race vette in a closed trailer with a Supercharged 454 engine
in his 3/4 ton truck. Years ago, I towed my 64 Vette race car on an
open trailer with my 1964 Chevy SS Impala. Do not think I ever towed
over 90, but the car would do 146 mph not towing.
My motorcycle goes 186 mph not towing. So there.

As Weird Tom F. says. Kewl! Years ago, friend had the under 66 cid record
at Bonnieville, running a belly tanker. They were looking at a Vincent
Black Shadow and noticed it had a sticker for the long track. I think you
had to do 160 on the short track before you got the sticker allowing you to
run the long track. Couple more miles of acceleration distance. They
watched the bike go through the traps at about 186 mph without the driver.
He fell off about a 100 yards from the timer trap. Got up to high and the
breeze blew him off the bike. Over 500 cc unstreamlined class. No farings.
He survived, bike survived and he rode it later that day.
