No point
The TPI has so much torque down low you can spin the tires how much you like, even a few seconds lightly touching the brakes hardly puts any pressure on the rear callipers due to the overly generous factory front braking bias. A few foot on brake applications to spin the tires will barely be noticeable on the rear brake pads, also unless you have some drag slicks road tires do not get stickier by heating them up spinning the tires.

Not a great picture, but you can see the line-lock. My set-up seems to be a bit more simple than most I've seen.
