Acceleration light problem!

This is really weird, i just noticed this last week, and it's doin it more often now, when i get on the gas from a dead dig, i get my red brake light indicator comes on and then goes away after the car settles down from the heavy launch.
Has this happened to anyone on here?
Anyone knows what this is a indication of?

thanx for your help!!

You have low break fluid or there is problem with the float. Acceleration and breaking causing the float to move around and causing break lamp lid off when fluid is low.

are you sure its not the TCS light that comes on when you skid your tires? it means that your car has no traction during that time so its just warning you that the car is not in control during that time. once your tires grip back down, thats when it goes away saying its in control again.. i doubt it could be any other indicator that lights up..

Likely causing fluid to move and thus the "BRAKE" light is warning you of low fluid. Top the fluid off and you're good to go.
