Default Hitting transbrake by mistake

I was wondering what would happen if you hit the transbrake button by mistake while driving in the pits? I have a butterfly steering wheel on my dragster and a micro switch transbrake button. While returning to the pits, and turning the wheel my thumb accidently hit the transbrake button. The throttle pedal started to drop toward the floor (I have an SLE on the car). The engine RPM didn't change and I quickly hit the master switch to shut the engine down. What would have happened had I not shut down immediately?
