Line Locks Revisited

Jim Wahl · 06-12-2009, 08:15 PM

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.

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.

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