is it necessary to have one in a car? reason i ask is because i have a wilwood hand brake for the rear brakes and the fronts arent hooked up to a prop valve or anything.. i followed the lines and it seems like each outlet on the master cylinder goes to each front brakes.

this is on a 88 crx hf drag car i bought recently

This just sounds scary

from my understanding it has to run through the prop valve to distribute fluid flow...if your rears are strictly on a handbrake though.... i would imagine it should still be hooked up and capped off for the rears.
imma follow this bc now im curious

 

Is the car only for the 1/4 mile?
And is it driven on the street at all?

I'm wondering the same thing.

Drag cars can and do get away with really odd things like this.
The prop valve isn't mandatory for a drag only car, IF both sides of the master cylinder are the same.
e-brake for burn outs, brake pedal for the end of the quarter. less lines, less fluids, less to go wrong, and most importantly less weight.

NOTE: Driving this setup on the street would be begging for accidents.

 

yea drag only..mainly 1/8th
