You should have it. My '99 FRC has it. I usually hold the T/C down an count to 8-1000 and it pops up. You cant release the button once you pressed it or it wont come on and you cant be rolling.

One way to know for sure is to check the options sticker in the glove compartment. If you have AH the option code is JL4.

That's for Traction Control (on/off). You don't have AH.

For about the umteenth million time, if you don't have Active Handling (Option JL4) - you do not have Competition Mode. The button looks like this......



Try a search on Active Handling. There are a ton of threads that discuss this.
