I like this idea a lot. It wont knock you out of the contest for more then one line break, but it will cost you something if it keeps happening. In addition, I like to reserve the weakest winches for the alternate re launches and usually don't bother using a battery charger on the back ups either. I will probably use these ideas for our Bob Steele Memorials "Sunday" events Lets see how it works.
