I think that's outlawed for most tracks and sactioning bodies, and I assume you mean to use it like a budget transbrake (4 wheel lockout)

Thats the only way I've heard of people using em with rwd cars on the rear.

My line lock is on the rear brakes. When I push the button, I only have front brakes. I control rollout in the burnout box with foot pressure.

Never been asked in tech how my linelock is plumbed. I know I'm not the only one on the board with it plumbed that way.

I will say this again. If you use the line lock to "block" the rear brakes, PLEASE consider using a "dead Man" switch. They can be purchased in different styles : toggle, pushbutton etc.

This will make sure you will have rear brakes at the end of the quarter mile.

I orginally had a push on/push off switch on mine. I also wired an indicator light on the dash so I would know it was on. I still ended up forgetting to turn it off a couple of times and didn't realize it until I noticed the light on on the return road.

I now have it wired to a switch on on the shift knob of the hurst qtr stick shifter. Have to hold the switch down with my thumb to engage the line lock.

Me too on my street car. Car does awesome burnouts on the street, but everyone thinks I'm power braking it because my rear brake lights are on.

You could always put in a relay so the linelock circuit cuts power to the brake lights when applied.

I have two line locks one plummbed into the front and one plummbed into the rear. There is a switch on the dash for setting only the front for for burn outs and when switched it sets both line locks and a two step. My rear line lock is plummbed the same way as the front and I have never had any problems.

they are plummbed the "normal" way. Both outlets of the master go in one side of the metering block. both lines go out from the metering block into the inlet of the line loc, and from the out to the front/rear brakes.

Thanks for checking

Some tracks prohibit line locks on the rear wheels.

Personally, I would not put a line lock on backwards to lock out the rear wheels. It is not designed for that and may cause unknown problems.

Mine is installed as per the instructions on the fronts after the proportioning valve.

Momentary button is on the shifter. I push the button, pump the brakes hard, and do my burnout. Been on the car for about 17 years and still working perfect.

This is all new to me and it sounds too confusing to mess with at the track..and what is the benefit? I've always installed mine per instructions and getting ready to put the line lock my Savoy. It will go on the old fashion way unless someone can explain how it's better. Help me understand.
Explain to me from start to finish a burnout with it plumbed that way and how it's safe?

not being sarcastic. just want to know.

As simple to install as the regular way, just reversed and in the rear line.

The reason I did it was to be able to leave off a 2-step on the floor without a transbrake. Use only one line loc for burn out flip a switch and use two for the launch.
