But then you hit the driver station bumper and stop.

And yet Dave has stated that he has gone down the length of the field and back in 12 seconds. This would appear to be pretty solid evidence that the published coefficients are not correct and you should try to perform a test to determine the actual CoF to get the correct maximum acceleration.
