Do you launch with 1 or 2 hands on the Steering Wheel

[SUPERSTOCKRACER]

I was wondering what you racers do when you leave off the tree.
Do you have 1 or 2 hands on the steering wheel?
Do you hold it at the top or bottom with the 1 hand or do you hold the steering wheel with 2 hands in the 10 oclock -2 oclock position?

One hand at 9,Oclock the other on the tranny brake button on the shifter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:headbang:

 

[65-440]

One at 9 and the other at 2 where my trans brake button is.

Mr too,and I fixed it for ME!!

Left hand 9 o'clock, right on shifter, right thumb on ether trans brake or line lock. I always keep an arm rest of some kind for my left elbow. If the steering wheel moves just a hair out the gate it can cost you a race. And if your not gone before that last yellow gets brite your out the gate too late, and your going home.

I hold the steering wheel at 12:00 with my left hand.Shifter with the right in my Hemi Belvedere.
With my 63 Plymouth while pushing buttons on the dash I hold the steering wheel 12:00 with my right hand.
Things will be very different with my new 65 Dodge, I think I'll need 2 hands on the wheel but 2nd gear is gonna come on very fast so I might have to rethink the process a lttle deeper. heres a incar video of the hemi belvedere.

So you do the leg deal holding the wheel. What about for this year,? Healthy eating.

Only been to the track a few times. At first I was doing the 10 and 2. But then I switched after a few passes to one hand on the shifter.

 

[696pack]

Anywhere from 8:00 to 12:00 with my left hand and the right hand on the pistol grip.

 

[Cranky]

Always one hand on the shifter, auto or stick and with the slower cars with a bench seat that I let shift on their own, my right arm was usually laying across the top of the seat like on a Sunday drive . Only realized that after someone mentioned it to me. Never really paid much attention to where my left had was but most of the time it was between 9 and 12....
