Default Eliminating rear brake question

We run a '91 Civic Si on an oval track. We are not allowed to remove the rear brakes, nor are we able to install an upgrade to adjust brake bias. But there are no rules against cutting off the flow of fluid to the calipers which should eliminate the rear brake altogether. I am wondering if there is a do-it-yourself method (i.e EASY) for accomplishing this. Any information is greatly appreciated.

Cut the line and install a fitting that will close the line off. You might need to do something about the proportioning valve too.

you can run new lines from the master cylinder to the front brakes and eliminate your prop valve.. before you do it just pump your pedal with the rear bleeder screw open and remove all the fluid from the rear lines
