Default Pushing through Line Lock...

I have had my Hurst line lock on my car for 10 years and it has been working perfectly, until now. Recently I swapped my stock LS1 and put in a LS3 stroker. I took my car to the track this past weekend and every time I do a burnout in the water box, my car pushes through the line lock. It hold for a little, but the car pushes through. Before I hold my button I pump the brakes to build pressure and then hold the button. The solenoid clicks and it will hold my car from rolling any where. Just in burnouts is when it tries to hold the frot brakes, but pushes through.
Any thoughts???
I was going to try and bleed the brakes this week.
Thanks

Are the front wheels actually turning or just being pushed because they are wet?

The front wheels are slowly turning. They are trying to hold, but seem like they are not strong enough to do so. Never had this issue before. I should have mentioned the car was on jack stands for 3 years

The Hurst line locks can be rebuilt.

After sitting the seals are likely rotting.

Well I pumped the crap out of the brake this passed weekend and it worked like it use to. I think this winter I will rebuild it.

I haven't checked the pressure. I will to that also.
