some friends and I found an awesome rail but we can't get enough speed, got any suggestions? We tried pole tugs, skating, sitting on cars. Anything?

what do you mean by sitting on your car like sitting on the hood and having someone drive then stop all of a sudden to push you

if you have space, tie a rope to a car, then pass the other end around the first post of the rail and hold onto that end, then drive the car away, and it'll give you a good straight tow in.
