I fully agree with JJ's and other's suggestion to make your mechanism more rigid. However, I also assume that it may be too large of a design change to make at the competition site.
If you can still find a way, I would still try to put a rigid member from one side to the other that will force the motors to follow each other and thus they will in effect be working in parallel.
You said that it is not a friction problem in your mechanism. Did you know that the Van door motors have an adjustment screw for the worm gear tension? So, if all else fails, you can play with the tension on it until both motors are running the same.
