Using the traction off button was not an option as it would interfere too much, especially in transitions.

I pulled the fuse at the Dynamic Driving Academy clinic and that seemed to work pretty good, however, that was a low speed event so conditions were quite different. I also changed to a stiffer front spring rate but that shouldn't have made too much a difference.

I'll be at the balcony again in June for another drift event where I'll be running with the ABS fuse pulled. I'll let you guys know how that works out.
This EXACT situation just happened to me at Balcony this weekend... and as a noob it was kind of scary. Then it got to be really annoying as I was getting better and getting closer n closer to the wall / other cones. Sucks. Is the fuse you're talking about shown in the owner's manual or could you take a pic? And does it create a hard CEL / ABS light? I wouldn't mind doing this for track days at least.
