My experience is that if you really nail the ABS, you do get 
intermittent "chirps from the tires as they NEAR lock-up before 
releasing, so I would expect that you might see some small black 
marks here and there through the braking path, as it's possible that 
the tires would leave a small mark as they "chirp".  No black LINES, 
though.  A solid line would indicate lock-up
