RE: line locks???
OK, a line lock will lock the front brakes of a car, and allow the rears to be released, thus making a burnout easier to do and alittle easier on the car, they can be used on both auto and manual transmissions. Rollin, to do a burn out without a line lock in a stick shift car, roll through the water (pay attention to the water box guy, he will guide you) when givin the ok, put the trans in 2nd gear and rev up the engine to about 4500 rpm and dump the clutch, the tires will start to spin, now this is the hard part, you must quickly move your left foot onto the break pedal and apply enough break to keep the car from lurching, while you floor the gas. The tires will now go up in smoke
It's easy with alittle practice

that's exactly how I left a pair of stripes up one block, around a corner, and down another 1/2 block. I'm sure I will need new rear shoes soon.

to do those impressive burn out you can inject water to ground right in front on the rear tires..I used my windshield resv. to pump water and on the street I spray a lil traction additive....car hooks really well then

RE: line locks???
I got a line lock on mine with a two step wired in and this is how it goes. After pulling through the water box hold the burnout button then pump your brake pedal to build pressure. Dump the clutch and hold it to the floor ( my car cuts out at 2500 with the two step). Have a crew mwmber or friend on the track with you to let you know when they are warm then release the button ( this is my favorite part) and hold it to the floor and roast em. After that, if you got a friend with you have his squirt some VHT in front of your rear tires then tell you when to roll em over. After that you stage and go. Simple.
