I may have misled some in that it does not actually lock anything, it is a release button for the throwout bearing. It holds the clutch DISENGAGED. You still need the Line Loc to hold the front brakes so that you don't roll backward out of the lights. [Many may not know this but at most tracks there are some good size 'divots' on the starting line from all of the rubber buildup and launches. If you have a shorter wheelbase car, the rear tires will tend to roll backwards into the center of the launch 'divot'. Conversely, if you have a longer wheelbase car it tends to roll forward into the launch 'divot'. A Looooong time ago I red lighted during a race because I did not have the Line Loc on after staging and the Firebird (yes the same Firebird) rolled backward out of the staging beam while I was waiting lights to come down.  My fault, but a good lesson.]
If a track is freshly prepped and scraped this shouldn't be an issue.  |
I'm sorta wondering how it can be a clutch release and a line lock at the same time?
