Another trick is to start in 2nd gear.
Remeber, 4 wheeldrive helps people go faster in snow but all vehicles have the same 4 wheel brakes. Or in thecase of snow, lack of 4 wheel brakes.
Using the rear wheels to slow down gives you more control than a 4 wheeler would have. But only if you pay attention and use it right.
The very same forces allow you to drive more aggressively than an automatic on the Dragon.
I love manuals.
