Question Aerotow takeoff distance

Ladies and Gents,

I have been trying to source exact performance figures for glider-aerotow.
Are there any exact numbers out there that someone could point me to? Ideally I want to know what the distance from beginning of the takeoff-roll until liftoff of the tug would be, utilising a PA150 tugging your average 2-seater, eg. Duo-Discus or ASK21. About 2000 AMSL, temp about ISA+20, level hard-dirt strip.
Any ideas, anyone?
Many thanks in advance!
