No problem...It's only the 10th time I've explained it. J/K. I guess everyone thinks you could be driving down the road and hit that button and it'll sling you around or something.
The most I would worry about is something/someone pressing the button and then trying to apply the brakes. You'd still have the rear breaks, but would be applying brake pressure to the other side of the solenoid. Not sure if that could damage them or what. I doubt it though...
When my wife saw the button, she said asked what the heck the button was for. Then she said, "No more buttons!"

You can press the button while driving and all it does is close the solenoids. Unless you have brake fluid in those lines under pressure, it doesnt' do anything. When I'm in the burnout box, I have to press on the brakes harder than any normal drive braking to get enough pressure in the lines to keep the car from rolling while burning out. You can hear the solenoids click when you press the button. People really seem to think you can lock up the front brakes while driving. It would be pretty difficult. Doing it all over again, I probably would have put the button somewhere else. I'm not worried at all where it's located now though.

Hope you removed your front stabilizer link.Car launches great with that off and all the other mods you have.

What does the front stabilizer link do and how would removing them help my launch? Please don't respond with stabilizes the front end. 
When I launch, the front suspension is fully extended/loaded as is. I may pick up the front end if I do much more. How cool would that be! Then again, I'd just be breaking stuff probably. I have pictures with my suspension fully extended and the tires barely entact with the asphalt.

Now that looks like a pretty good idea. The red would probably freak her out even more though. One of her co-workers went to get something out of the car today. She went back to my wife and said, "I pushed that little button next to the shifter. What is it?" I then went into explaination mode to tell her how it works. She isn't worried about it at all. I'm going to see if that switch cover comes in black. It can't hurt anything to have it.

Those are some great burnout pics. Your car looks great and I'm hoping to get one in LL myself. By the way, a guy asked you about the cost for the kit, any chance you can post that or pm me. Thanks.

Just so everyone knows.RT (reation time) means nothing, unless your bracket racing.You could wait all day at the christmas tree lights after they turn green and still run your number.1/4 mile doesnt start till the front wheels of your car brake the strating light beam.So be comfortable on the line and launch when you are ready.Dont be concerned about leaving right at instant green.Unless your realy trying to beat the other guy.You will get your best numbers working on your cars leave(60 ft time)distance you travel from that first beam to the 60 ft beam.

I am bracket racing. I saw this same post over in the post mods thread. Who mentioned R/T? I've been cutting .000-.013 R/T's. It makes my 1/4 mile faster.
The line locks are $300 from here.

I took the front stabilizer off tonight as well. 6 nuts is all. I can't tell if it helped any. I was wondering if the front tires were coming up or not. It sortof felt like it. The only problem was it was unusually cold tonight, so I was hooking great, but couldn't isolate changes and improvements.

Thanks for the reply and pics David. I wonder why they use 2 instead of the old school single like on my 02??
About the automatic. Yes it works great on automatic. You shift from 1st to 2nd and hold it there on slicks until the tires smoke good and then roll out......
