When you first mentioned it I was thinking of a drifter, wanting a rear only brake to initiate slides, adding a second calliper could potentially be easier than converting the existing handbrake/Ebrake to hydraulic on some vehicles. But for the drag strip I'm baffled, is it FWD? It could be for burnouts, but I thought trucks were all 4WD or RWD and I don't see the benefit in just burning out the front tyres on a 4WD.

Unless you have a front only brake too and burn out the fronts and rears separately which would be safer than doing all 4 together.
It's going to work more like a line lock would, line lock would normally keep just the front wheels locked but this would keep the rear wheels locked. On these type of trucks it's hard to us to hold boost at the line when we are getting ready to launch. This would help keep the rear planted. This is an all wheel drive vehicle. From what I'm told this is something that the Buick Grand Nationals use on some of there vehicles.
