No worries I am not out to kick peoples a##. for traction I usually have about 700 lbs or more in the back pushing down at wheels.

jr my brother and one of his friends took our ambo and one from where he works at part time and raced them one day at capital. both ambos are identical. the guys at capital said it was the sorriest 1/4 mile they have ever seen. If I remember correctly it was about a 20 or 30 second 1/4. it was pitiful but then again your asking alot out of an overloaded one ton van.
