Don,
I noticed at the beginning of unlimited that almost all of
the line was off the drum, therefore we were launching with
approx a 2" dia. drum - was much more easy to control and
modulate the launch.
On a related note, the previous years' masters advertised
"short lines" - ( read larger drum dia. ) I wonder if this,
coupled with the high winds lead to some of the carnage .

One other thought. The winch setup at the Nats was excellent with
regard to reliability and uniformity. In addition, I did not find the
winches so powerful that they blew my hair back (at least what's left
of it).Perhaps someone who was responsible for the set up of these
winches would like to comment on the setup and what went into setting
them up.
