Default can i have my abs put on a switch ?

as in so i can turn it off when i dont want it as sometimes my abs trips in and i loose breaking on bad road surfaces and makes the pedal feel grindy sort of

now when i was at the ring it was doing it at some points which made me loose faith in my brakes so would rather i had a switch so i could turn it off for track use rather that drive straight into something due to the abs system

It would stop the ABS working. Ideal for track days.
