Default The Left vs the Right

I forwarded that hilarious youtube Hitler-as-CD video to my brother,

in the start cylinder but have to turn right when releasing from tow.

I did not have an answer to that question. But I sure hope that I wake
up one day and find out one of the two sets of rules has changed!

Who turns right when releasing off tow at a contest? Most costest tow
pilots are gone as soon as the release is pulled. I usually make a
token roll input to the right then crank left into the thermal as soon
as the tug is clear.
