Does anybody remember the old "reflex launch" I am not sure if it was
ever legal but at Cunderdin I can remember sitting in a Kooka and upon
the ready advice the car took off straight down the runway at full
bore  with no uptake of the slack or anything---the shock was absorbed
by a flexible (nylon??) rope section which somewhat later after its
rapid extension would give back all that energy after which you then
did a "normal" auto tow. I am after approximate lengths of rope and
stretch part that people might have used in those days if anyone
remembers.

Might do it again for a laugh one day!!!!!!
