Default Launch Control Unavailable

So today for the first time I got launch control to work (I have only tried 1 or 2 other times)

I did one great launch and after that it would not do it again and I had this message on the dash

What did I do wrong?

In the picture your traction control is on since there's no traction control off lights in the gauge cluster. Hit the Z button twice. Choose your PTM mode. Good to go.

That confuses me.

I thought the proper procedure is to put it in TRACK mode with the wheel next to the gear selector then press the TRACTION CONTROL button twice.

Press Z mode 2x? I have never done that.

Yes, you can also access launch control from track mode using PTM. Pressing Z mode twice is the fastest way to use launch control to my knowledge. GM makes it more complicated than it needs to be.

In your picture you don't have traction control off though. In order to use launch control traction control must be off.
