Ground launching equipment question

If a wing drops to the point where you are sure it will hit the ground release
immediately. If you start a ground loop with a winch line attached the results
are very fast, and frequently result in a lot of damage to the glider and its
contents...

I owned a Speedastir. Aileron control was never great on takeoff. If a
wing goes down there was every chance it would stay there. Picking up
a wing with ailerons was a bad idea. Was more responsive to rudder.
If the wing hits the ground release immediately unless you are VERY
sure you can get it back up.

I'm surprised that the tow vehicle was going that fast. Did the
gliders ever get into a normal ground launch climb attitude?

What vehicle speeds are other auto tow users seeing on calm wind days?
