Re: Line Locks Revisited
 

<I was told at a teardown years ago in Memphis that is illegal to have
the line loc on the rear brakes. Even though I was using it as you
described Phil, I believe the concern was that people would lock the
rear wheels when staging and leave by releasing the button..>

Mike,

Yes I guess that could be looked at as a "poor man's" trans brake.
Oh well mine will be done the "normal" way.

I wouldn't spread the word too much about Bobs rear line-loc. According to the 2009 rulebook a rear wheel line-loc is not legal in Stock or Super Stock. Pages 118 and 108.

Re: Line Locks Revisited
 

I have an output from my delay box to the line-loc to keep my stocker from settling forward or backwards any when I set the transbrake. BTW, just kidding on the electronics being in my stocker, this is a bracket car at present.

Re: Line Locks Revisited
 

are you looking at plumbing from master cylinder because many people plumb the first line openening closest to the firewall the rear opening in the master cylinder to the front brakes and install a line lock to the front then the front opening they route to the rear brakes maybe you looked at the rear line closest to the firewall and assumed it was plumbed to the rear brakes

Re: Line Locks Revisited
 

I don't have my '09 rule book right here but in the '08 book on page 141 Section 9A, Brakes and Suspensions: 3, #5 it states:
Rear wheel line-lock prohibited; front wheel line-lock permitted. Parking brake optional.

'09 sez the same thing...

Re: Line Locks Revisited
 

Truth be known , when I drove Bill Shurla's Escort at the Summer's, I fixed the E brake to hold me on the line. I just pushed the lock button in, drilled a hole thru it and the handle and stuck a cotter pin in it.
Pop the clutch, drop the brake handle. Worked for me.

Re: Line Locks Revisited
 

I can tell you from past experiences that a rear or 4 wheel linelock isn't legal! Period! Not in D1 anyway.
