ummm, perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't think so. Traction control has a distinctly different sound than backfiring. The cars were popping very loudly when braking, and a loud pop is not the sound of traction control. It's more dull sounding, a more subdued(sp?) sound.
And I think the reason they brake so late is because of the brake technology. I merely stated what I did because it's much more impressive to see it in real life than on TV.
*edit* and oh yeah, your album is working again. nice pics, thanks for sharing!

Electronic traction control has nothing to do with braking. It controls wheel slip under acceleration. ABS (anti-lock braking systems, which is silent...) used to be used, but has been banned this year I think.
cartmen, any chance you will be posting some of the photos you took? Sounds like it was a great time.

clowns got it right me thinks.
Well, I had finals on monday and tuesday, so I haven't even had time to go through all the pics I have yet. With over 700 pics, it'll take some time. I'll post the best ones once I find them! lol
