Default Cle Elum crash on NTSB

I'm not entirely sure what to make of the whole thing, but if that
report is correct the basic facts that emerged previously are
confirmed:

* Auto tow with SUV
* Tow rope of 230-foot length
* Tow rope of 5/16" nylon
* Runway length of 2500 feet
* Glider achieved a max alt of 200 feet near the departure end of
runway
* Glider appeared to initiate a right spin near the departure end of
runway

That still leaves in question what they were trying to accomplish, and
how.
