On my last trip to the track I experienced an odd traction control issue. I am assuming its the traction control, however I had no flashing light or anything.

While doing a burnout, The car revved fine and heated the tires. After about 3 seconds or so, the engine started to rev down, like I had let off the throttle slightly, but I maintained constant pressure. When I let off the brakes and start to roll out, the revs come back up and car functions normally. This is with the traction control off and advance track on. So that would be pressing the tc button once.

Anyone experience anything like this or have any ideas.

If you watch the vid below you can hear the engine rev down.

The first the thing I would do is turn the Advance track completely off and see if it still happens. To turn it off hold the button down for 30sec when stopped with the brake pedal depressed. Then go from there.
 
I thought the same thing about turning it off all together but, the car has done fine at the track with just the traction control off before.

I guess I will turn it all off next time I go to the track. Wont be till the end of september though.

Thanks guys.
