Default Traction Control Active Handling, Help!

Heading out to Thunderhill raceway for the first time and want to really understand the Traction Control and Active Handling system. Ive read the manual and watched the DVD, but could really use some suggestions from those that have "been there, done that" Are there any tech articles or writeups on the Corvette system I can read? I have a 09 C6 base coupe with the Mag Ride and NPP exhaust, manual of course. Many thanks!

There are actually 4 modes:
  1. When you start up the car everything is on (TC and AH)
  2. If you push the button once, TC is off but AH is still full on
  3. Push the button again, TC is off and AH goes into the COMP mode (AH is still on, but doesn't intervene until the car gets further out of whack)
  4. Push and hold the button (something like 5 to 10 seconds) and TC is off and AH is turned completely off.
For the drag strip you can turn TC off, but leave AH full on.

I'd recommend Comp mode for a road course track unless you're experienced or want to do some skid pad work or drifting.
