Default how to use a linelock?

My SS has the factory brakes still and I don't race anymore but I was thinking about going to the track this year. My local track sux but I was thinking about installing a line lock. My SS has ASR. How exatly are you guys using this system because I think it would be a bit difficult to time exactly hitting a switch to turn off the lock and dump the clutch at the exact same time.

You would just turn your ASR off first. Then push your brake pedal down pretty hard and then hit your line lock button and it will lock the solenoid locking the fluid to the front brakes only. Then you would let go of the brake pedal and then let you clutch out and come up on your throttle while you are holding the line lock button, then after your burnout is done release your lock button and the car will start rolling forward and then come out of the throttle and in on the clutch and roll up to the beams.

I have mine on a switch instead of a button. Hit the breaks then the switch, lightem up then flip the switch off. Done.

Using iot for the burnout is straight forward but I have heard of people using it to keep the car from rolling through the beams.
