Line Locks for Drag Racers

Post by Peter Gidden »

Ever wondered how drag racers spin their rear wheels up without moving?

All you need is a pair of USA made Hurst line locks.

Simply plumb one into each front brake line (work perfectly well with or without ABS). Run the wires to a switch, and you're done.

Completely transparent to the braking system when not in use.

Press brake pedal hard, press push button, and release pedal. Whilst push button is held front brakes will be locked on. Red line, drop the clutch, and your rear wheels will spin up. Release button and brakes are back to normal.

Totally road legal although not a good idea to use on public road. :lol:

These would be a very novel way of giving old tyres a send-off - or a very quick way of scrubbing in a new set :-k

One fitted to each front brake line.

The only parts not included from the original kits are a switch and 12V light, simply because we used a Sparco steering wheel switch and mounting plate.
