To answer the first part of your question, it depends on your frame of reference. To an observer riding in the trailer (and the driver of the car) you'd be going 10mph or less. To an outside observer, you'd be going around 75mph (and as you apply the brakes slowing down to 65mph).

If you kept it WOT all the way up the ramps, you would probably stall the car. Part of the trick is letting off the throttle as you hit the ramps, so that's kind of a moot point.
