My issue is I can't hold the car back even though I have a line-lock. Sometimes I walk out of the water box at the track a little earlier than I want to. I was really hard to compete in the burn-out contest but I was able to get the tires spinning quick enough, link here http://www.hopeandcompany.com/burnout.wmv . I suppose the issue is I have manual drum brakes all the way around. I can't do any major upgrades until next season since I had to have my engine rebuilt for this year's upgrade. Two years ago I put new shoes on which didn't help. I thought for sure turning the drums would do it last year but it was not any better at all.

I thought I remember reading about one brand of shoes being better at braking (or holding in my case). Any ideas on the shoes or the drums?

Thank you!!!

It might be Praise (http://www.praisedynobrake.com/) you are talking about. I haven't used them myself, but have seen many positive comments.

I suppose that is one option at $99. I thought Checker had something, maybe a few years back?
