The LOW TRACTION also comes on when the ABS system engages, presumably you started breaking after the finish line?

I could see that happening.^ I have no traction control on my car and if you brake hard it will come on.

What are the tire size differences between your front tires and rear tires? My ABS always goes crazy when slowing down after the traps because of the tire height/ speed difference with my slicks on.

Yeah it's your abs kicking on. My old camaro had no tcs and when the abs came on it kicked on the low traction light.

Any other lights like a random air bag light...sounds crazy but I have heard wheel bearings affecting these things...
