Default How do i override the traction control on my 98 sc300?

i have a 98 sc300 and it has traction control. (it sounds silly) but it wont let me do a burn out. i will push the brake pedal to the floor and press the gas and the tires start to spin but then the TC light comes on in the dash and the rpm's go back down and the tires stop spinning. it wont let me fishtail or drift. how do i override TC all together?

maybe killing the power will help aka pull da fuse out for the trac control, but really hitting the switch should do it unless your tires are to sticky, not making enough power, or not doing it right, but none the less power the fuse will kill the power for trac control

The fusebox on the drivers side of the car in the engine bay, it has fuses for ABS and traction control, just take out the ones for traction control.
