Guenther Jacobs at Parowan has refined his technique
one step past this...the glider is staged on the active
with the second rope hooked to it, pilot strapped in
and ready. The towplane lands facing the glider, taxis
up and drops it rope on the side of the runway, spins
around and is hooked up. Tightens the rope and goes.
Hard to waste time on the ground this way.
