Default Re: Red Light Answer

It is and was common practice for many people running doorcars with trans brakes to apply your line loc along with the trans brake. It will help to stop any movement once the brake is set and your staged.

The Defranks could not win as much as they have unless they had all their ducks in a row as the saying goes.

In 1970 at Atco in the first round of stock my partner was redlighted for this exact scenario.....slight movement backwards but it was a stick car and the starting line probably had a slight dip in it....and we did use a line lock to try and hold the car.....it didnt prevent that one......
