I have about 100 passes at the 1/4 mile, I "power braked" every one of
the burnouts.
Doing that glazed my rear brake shoes and drum.
The fronts were doing ALL the stopping for this 4,000lb truck and they
wore out prematurely. Gouged the rotors before I even heard anything.
I installed the line lock so I could save any further damage my brake
system.
