[alfa] Shuffle Steering (race proven)



Through testing various methods during closed course racing I have found the
following method of steering to be the most precise and controllable in all
situations encountered:

 

1.	Set the seat back at a 40 degree angle
2.	Open the driver's side window and hang left arm out window with palm
of hand firmly planted on outside side of door approximately two inches
below top edge of door.
3.	Drape right arm over passenger side seat top (be careful of
passenger seat headrest, this can be tricky) so that the underside of your
forearm is resting on the top of the seat.
4.	Hold fountain drink of choice (preferably Mountain Dew for racing
situations) in right hand held over and in front of passenger seat back
5.	put left and right knees against steering wheel at the 7 and 5
O'clock positions respectively.  Position wheel about three inches behind
each kneecap along the top of your thigh.
6.	Shuffle knees along steering wheel to turn.
