Anyone who has ever done a burn out can more than appreciate the benifits that a Line Lock can provide. Using a button to control the front brakes not only makes life easier on the rear brakes, but also makes control of the car much easier. At the same time, the additional control that a Line Lock provides in staging is also a major benifit.

A Line Lock is an electronic solonoid that controls a valve which is in line with the front brakes. Normally, the valve is open and allows fluid to pass through to the front brakes as usual. However, while the front brakes are applied and the solonoid is activated, the valve closes to trap the fluid in the front brakes keeping them applied until the control is released. It's a simple process which requires a very straight forward install. Also, with its relative low cost, it's something that just about any racer should consider

Thanks, I have seen them at the track but didn't put 2 & 2 together. Would come in handy when staging I have rolled out a few times.
