Default Any XKRS owners take it to the track?

I would like to hear from any XKRS owners who have spent some time in Trac DSC mode. I took a private drivers coarse at Spring Mountain Race Track in Nevada and the trac DSC doesn't seem to do anything. The car will spin just as easily with or without the Trac DSC engaged. I know that Trac DSC can only do so much. If you get stupid with the car it will spin no matter what. Has anyone had similar experience with Trac DSC?

In trac dsc mode the traction control will intervene at a higher threshold as compared to dsc mode (default). Even in dsc mode you can spin out if you have enough momentum. Next time it's raining, play around with the 3 different modes (dsc, trac dsc, dsc off). You will notice the traction control kicking in while in trac dsc mode if there is enough slip angle, as compared to not at all when it's shut off.
