Make sure the brakes are bled properly.

Also, holding power is amplified at the track. If the line lock won't hold the car on the street, it will hold it at the track, due to the waterbox and lack of traction on the rear tires (assuming you're using a slick-type tire).

you didnt do much better there either, are you rolling into the throttle or kind of stabbing it? your better off stabbing it to get the tires spinning just make sure not to hit the limiter

Roll through the water box, stop. Apply the brakes HARD, then engage the line lock. If the brakes are properly bled and the solenoid is good there's no reason you should roll through it.

Holding on the street won't happen easily. Mine won't hold on the street but at the track it's fine.

Make sure you bleed in order - 1. right rear, 2. left rear, 3. right front, 4. left front.
