Exclamation TCS is killing me!

I have no idea why this would happen but when i flip the TCS switch off then try a burnout i can't spin them one bit and end up stalling it b/c i notice the TCS turns itself back on. Why the hell does this happen?

So could it be a wiring problem, surely the thing isnt supposed to turn itself on even when you flip it off, or else the switch was placed there to be a night light?
Can i just bypass the TCS system with some wire and creativeity?
or do i need to get some tuning done to get rid of the TCS permanently?

and if i need tuning where can i just get this single thing fixed for cheep in DFW, Texas?

i know you can get a reverse switch for TCS that i believe is about 25 bucks that the tcs onyl turns on when you want it to. so when you start your car its off instead of on. you may want to try that one.
