rear brake proportioning cut-out

my friends and i were talking about how bad burnouts are for the rear brakes especially, so i said "what about like a remote shutoff valve for the brakes" ... i'm now wondering how feasible that would be to put in ? it'd be fun to buy some used tires and smoke them off but not at the expense of a rear brake sys =/

any ideas/thoughts/comments about the idea ?

Partner, I've got an easy solution for you. Take a five gallon jug of water, add some soap, and then go find a large vacant parking lot to dump it at and drive through it. You''ll get the burnouts of your life and mostly you wont hurt anyone else messing with your brake system.

Line locks will work, but I don't think he wants to spend the money to have that fabbed into his system just for a daily driver. They are used for all out drag cars.

Also, they dont shut off the rear brakes. They hold pressure to the fronts only without having ti hold the brake pedal. If you then decide to step on the brake pedal, the rears wil still work.
