Default 6spd guys and drag brakes?

From what I've read when doing drag brakes the e-brake is deleted. How do you 6spd guys manage without an e-brake. Any issues on the street with parking? Or do you guys just throw it in gear and forget about it?

I always put it in gear, but I always had a habit of doing that.

When I swapped to another 10 bolt, the E-brake bolt was broken off on the one side, so I could not safely put on the E-brake. Long story short I've been driving around with one emergency brake since October and frankly, it doesn't matter.

I don't even notice anymore.

Thanks Tom, do you know if anyone makes a rear brake setup that is lighter than stock and retains the e-brake?
