Maybe it allows you to load the clutch a little while staged. Then it's not quite as hard of a hit when you let it go. A Line Lock would do the same thing, but this may have come out before the Line Lock.

----There you go. I was trying to figure out how this held only the front brakes. Every drag car is different as are we drivers, but, for instance, Red Alert didn't like the trans brake, or maybe that was me (dunno). Line lock was only for the burn. Once staged I just left-footed the brake, brought the RPM's up to around 25/2600 and matted it (5000 stall). Just me, but that produced the best 60 ft's and ET's......Bill S

I agree it has no value in drag racing, it could be useful on hills for street driving.

Really at the end of the day it is sort of like tow bar tabs. No one really using them they just look cool.
