Possible Brake Problem.....

I went to the tarck last night and a buddy of mine noticed I was only spinning the right rear tire, and the left one did nothing. I confirmed this this morning when I looked in the wheel wells and found rubebr only in the right one.

I am on ET Streets, I was hoping this was a problem caused by the lack of a Line Lock, well I have a SJM one that is going in soon. I thought that there was just too much force for the posi to overcome on the left tire so it only spun the right one, is it possible, or is my posi dead. :dunno:

Actually I just found out you are ALL wrong, I didn't wet the left tire enough in the water box, went to do the average joe power brake burnout and the tire with teh least amount of resistance was the right rear and it spun. The POSI is fine, I just went out and had the ET streets at 30psi and laid down two solid black strips.....and then did it again from a 30mph roll. My problem WAS in fact not having a line lock.....

Oh yeah, and I also did a dry burnout too....nice dual black strips again......

Talked to my drag racing wiz buddy Gator and he confirmed it.....

Thanks for scaring the **** out of me and the line lock goes in as soon as I get it in the mail.
