The reason I mention ABS is that some stability control systems can turn themselves back on following an ABS event. Don't know if Advance Trac does this or not, just that it's a path to investigate.

I have a "track" tune that disables everything without me having to remember to turn it off. All the dash warning lights come on, but the car behaves like it should.

i had this happen to me last year...
after some googling the mustang drifting guys provided the answer
in the driver or pass front wheel wells you will find the wheel speed sensor. up behind the fender liner you can unplug the sesnor.
this turns off all systems, ABS, Traction Control, and Stability Control
you get 3 lights on your dash but it feels amazing
not to my knowledge but i have very little when it comes to the fusebox in our cars.
why the aversion to losing ABS? you'll learn to brake a lot better without it
I think the value of ABS in a lapping environment depends on how poorly the OE brake balance is for the tires that you're running. The worse the balance is, the worse the overbraking will be on one axle or the other, and the more likely it'll be for ABS activity to occur. In this case, it'll help keep you from flatspotting your tires.
If the car's brake balance is good (or you make it that way by pad testing and selection), you would be better off learning how to do all your own braking and trusting yourself to get it right. The big benefit of ABS is that it lets all the lowest common denominator drivers stomp on the brakes without giving up the ability to steer, which is kind of the wrong thing to be learning out on the track or if any of your cars are not ABS-equipped.
