    Traction control bypass (Lock out)

    Made couple of passes at the local track last night and upon leaving realized that I forgot to turn off the traction control on each pass.
    Has anyone connected up a system where as the traction contol is turned off when the O.D. is turned off with the button on the shifter.
    That way both things are done at once, easier to remember (at least by me).

    When I first started racing the MM I got some blue painters tape and wrote the word OFF on the tape and stuck it right about the traction control. Now I've just got into the habit so much of turning it off when I was running 235/50 all around that right after I start the car up I turn T/C and O/D off right away.

    Not a problem, it's a simple thing to do and works. Or make yourself a small checklist and tape it to the steering wheel. I've seen a lot of pro racers do that when they have a million and one switches.
