Default Line lock questions

Where do you all have your brake line lock activation button located??? Shifter, Loose under seat, Heck where ever? Please give me a clue where is the most common place to have it be the handiest for a casual racer. And please some tips on exactly how to use it at the track. Thanks alot guys.

Tim.....The most common place is on the shifter....it is mainly used to lock the front brakes so you can hold the car in the waterbox and get the rear wheels spinning to heat them up........

To use a line lock you push the brake pedal down as hard as you can then you press the line lock button and then release the brake pedal. (the button activates a solenoid that does not allow the fluid to return to the master cylinder from the front brakes) Now your front brakes are applied and the rear brakes are free to spin. Keep holding the button and then apply the gas and get the back tires spinning and when they have heated up let off the line lock button and come out of the water box.
