Another problem with mugaliens' idea, I think, would be keeping the DeLorean stable in a horizontal trajectory. Wouldn't the sudden motion tend to make it flip over?

Another thing that would make me uneasy, if I were in Marty and Doc's place, is that the sort of method you suggest could only be tried once. No rehearsals. If it failed, that would mean sure death for everybody inside the car.
