Re: Grenade?
I wondered the same thing, it sounded exactly like line locks.
The technology has been around for quite a while, so it's entirely possible that he had them installed for the "Grenade Test".
For those of you who don't know what Line Locks are, it's a solenoid that's installed between the the brake master cylinder and the front brakes. You push the brake pedal down hard and hit the button. This switches the solenoid closed which keeps the front brakes locked. You then take your foot off of the brake pedal and start your burnout. When you're ready to launch you press the button, the solenoid opens and the front brakes release.
