I have not and we normally roll along a pretty good pace. I don't have any desire to do so on the street, if it happens on the track it happens. I agree that knee down or excessive lean angle does not equate to being the fastest. I do focus on my lines when cornering though.

Nope. besides dragging my elbow, shoulder, head, legs,etc
In other words, not on purpose

Once at the track.
Started concentrating more on keeping a good line than leaning way over, and all of a sudden I felt a little tug on my knee... |

I'm slow and I have dragged a knee. Also been passed by others who weren't dragging while I was.

I never have and thats with 4 plus years on the track. Part of my problem I think is my feet are too damn big. Its tough pivoting on the pegs, my heels hit the rearsets so I can only swing my leg out so far. I have dragged my boot a bunch of times so I know I am getting prety low then. we will see with a new track bike how it goes.
I was wrapped up with doing it for a while but then just worked on my lines and getting faster, much more fun sneaking underneath a guy as we come out of a turn and making a pass. (inside passes are prohibited in the lower groups with the orgs I ride with)\ Tom |
