brake light comes on during launch?

I have a 2011 g37x coupe. For some reason when I do a hard launch, or even just take off decently quick, the brake light in the gauge cluster comes on for a second. What does this mean?

Check the brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If its a little low, your spirited momentum will slosh it around enough to trip the light.
