Maybe OT, a drag racing question
I'm hooked on speed, TV that is, and frequently watch
Pinks and other drag racing competition. The cars always do spectacular burn outs, and it appears the front brakes are locked because the cars don't move. Do these cars have separate front and rear braking systems? Just curious, Dick

It is a solenoid (or solenoids depending on how you set them up) that you activate with a switch. Roll up to the line, press your brakes, push the switch, let off the brakes. The solenoid holds line pressure to the front brakes while the rear brakes are free.

I stated very clearly that line locks hold pressure to the front brakes while the rear brakes are free. What part of that says you are burning up the rear drums? (and who has drum brakes anymore anyway?)
