Default Linelock Question

I went to the track this weekend for the first time with my linelock. I held the brake pedal in as far as it could go, pressed the button, realeased the pedal, and when I did my burnout, the car still rolled forward. This was on my stock tires, not even slicks. Has this ever happened to anyone or does anyone know how to correct it?

Make sure you pump the brakes a few time then engage the line lock. You may also need to bleed the brakes a few times.

sounds like you didn't bleed all the air out of the system after the install, i would try re bleeding all 4 calipers first, starting with the caliper furthest from the master, so passenger side rear.
