It sounds like you're not actually turning off traction control, hold the left button 'off' for ~5s, two yellow lights will illuminate and that's it, don't press anything else.

It sounds like you're pressing the 'off' button which is meant for snow/dirt only and turns off over 30 mph and/or pressing sport mode which will either cancel the 5s press (if you're doing that first) or it's sport mode + single press 'off' depending on your procedure.

Don't press 'sport mode' (unless you've got an automatic, in which case read your manual, it'll be different than what I wrote).

I personally prefer pedal dance, but there are many who don't, it's worth experimenting with, but I wouldn't do it during an event, I blew many runs trying to adapt during competition and didn't really understand it until I had a free test and tune day and an open figure 8 skidpad.
