Maybe we should start a poll....

Do you drive 9-12 (hands) on the Dragon... or shuffle... ???

I'm a shuffler.... hands ready for the turn prior to getting into the turn!

I remember both my autox instructor and HPDE instructor stating that other than to shift your hands should never move from their wheel position.
They teach that because it's not easy to do it properly, I cant do it personally I always get screwed up with where my hands are on the wheel on the exit of the corner. It's an advanced technique.

I get angry at your silly comments
Looks like 9 & 3 to me

Yes, I did. There's only so far you can turn the wheel until you arms cross and you cannot turn anymore.
