Never thought of the 9-3 thing because of airbags...makes sense.
There is more to it. With your hands at 9 & 3, when you turn, your body is still centered. If you are at 10 and 2, when you turn left, you body will lean left, and thus, your center of gravity will also shift left. You won't be as balanced, and if tings go south, it will be more difficult for you to maintain control of the car.

Not really a big deal on the street, but at the track, you want to keep your body as centered as possible when turning.
