A REAL Traction Control Button
Ok..... just so I'm clear on this....
Pressing the TC button (turning it OFF) doesn't actually totally disable TC right?
But if you disconnect your WSS on your front wheels, that 'should' honestly disable TC?
So would it be possible to wire a button/switch into the dash to disconnect the WSS?
..... for those 1/4 mile runs?

Yes it is possible and I think a few are running one as we speak.

yes on the OBD1 when the TC is Off the TC is OFF, there is no timing retard, applied braking or anything, for the OBD2 even with the TC off it still pulls timing, yes you have to pull the WSS to fully disable TC
