Herne Hill Bike needs

Quick question would it be acceptable if I rode to the track with a brake and removed the lever to race? I would have no way of using the brake I dont see any problem with it, but wanted to ask anyway.

You have to remove the caliper too.

But put the back bolt in a very very safe place or you'll get a perhaps unwanted intro to brakeless riding on the way home as someone did at the last track day.
