Correct. There is a standing start quarter mile run, brake into the road course, exit the road course,negotiate a chicane, then run to the predetermined speed(130 in this case) and brake from that speed as quickly as possible. There is usually also a side contest for stock versions of a fewof the cars entered in the contest.
