Probably not - most traction control systems I know of have a defeat switch
available. Since that's provided by the manufacturer, it is clearly legal
to compete with traction control disabled. Pulling the fuse on an ABS
system is not - there you are deliberately circumventing the normal and
intended operation of the vehicle (yeah, like we don't do THAT every
weekend!).
If your TC doesn't have a defeat switch, then I agree the two situations are
similar, and my interpretation would be illegal to defeat in both Stock and
Street Prepared. (But in SP you could update/backdate to a model without
those options, if available.)
