Solo.. I think he was more worried about his brakes, not thinking that this will give him better times...
Is it needed? no, but not a bad thing to have either.

I do indeed want to save brakes and no matter who I tell this to, they seem to misunderstand me.
It wears the pads and rotors everytime I powerbrake.
If I use a line lock, it no longer wears on the brakes at all.
thus I have saved some life in my rotors and pads.
It may only be a slight lil bit, but it is a savings over all in terms of my brakes.
So Dereck, u think I should just spin em up dry?
I mean I thought water would be ok, but I guess with D/R's they dont like water to much ?
let me know what exactly I should do for a burnout as I am not used to burnouts with D/R's...
Thanks again

I see where my response looked like it read to stay in the water for DR's but I meant to just stay in the gas a little longer a car out of the water box.
