Default Track questions

I went to the track for the first time this past weekend, although not in my Z. I was taking the 3 day Ron Fellows course at Spring Mtn in Nevada. It was an absolute blast and had to be the best training and instructors I've experienced in any field. They really are that good. I came out with a ton more knowledge, better skills, and profound respect for skilled drivers and the Corvette. I was in a Grand Sport and Z06 during the course. I have to say, while I've always liked Vettes, I have even more respect for them now. That car is very user friendly and has great composure. Learning curve was almost null with it's stock setup. Very forgiving and very fast.

So my questions are probably in some thread somewhere on these forums, but my searches came up somewhat empty. I got bits of info here and there but nothing was concrete for me. So please bare with me if you've answered these before. The Corvette's traction control was very non-invasive. In fact, it almost never came on to my knowledge while flying around the track. Even when it did, I didn't notice, other than the light on the dash flicker on then off. This is how it should work IMO. Really only comes on to save your butt when you've lost a moderate amount of control. Do you guys turn your traction control off at the track in the Z? With mildly spirited driving or just accelerating around a turn, mine will kick in, but it's noticeable. You can feel power cut out. I'm afraid of going limp on the track, but haven't really tested it at the track yet. My other question is in regards to the fuel starvation issue. I have a 2012, was this fixed by now? I plan to take the Z to the same track in the near future and just want to be aware. Thanks!
