Handbrake Not Working?

[DriftStyle]

On my Honda Civic '97 the handbrake won't hold the car back. When I'm at the start before drag racing, it starts moving forward. This might be a silly question.
Thanks.

Probably because the handbrake locks the rear wheels and as the car is FF the power is sent to the front so the handbrake doesnt stop the driven wheels.

i have the same problem .. i think it caused by the handbrake itself, its not powerful enough to hold the car for 20 years

EDIT :

thats the answer
