Whereas I see it as giving me more control over the car when things do go wrong because my arms aren't all crossed up. I'm able to start my correction from a much better place IMO when my arms aren't wrapped around each other. Different perspectives.

Since this subject is starting to wane, why don't we discuss whether is better to pull down on the wheel with your inside hand, or push up on the wheel with your outside hand when steering.

Anyone who either pushes the wheel up with the outside hand or pulls down the wheel with the inside hand is an idiot...

But what to do on straights? I know it is considered good to push down on the throttle pedal, but does it help to pull up on the brake pedal?

Good question...it must help to pull up on the throttle. Otherwise, why would they have those little toe rings on the gas pedal?

Man...I'm so tempted to get some T-shirts made with that phrase and pass them out to every racer I know. At the very least, there will be a new decal on our car.
