+6 on the track,
If you're dragging on the street just to drag (and not because you got sucked into a corner WAAY faster that you would sensibly take it), You're just being an idiot, and DOUBLE DOG DARING murphy to make a Darwin Award out of you.

Second, go to 05RR's thread and state that you KNOW HOW TO RIDE.
That post isn't ever going away.
Dizzie56 there are so many post about draggin knees, what to/not to your better off researching or your going to get anwsers that aren't going to help you.
get going about 85mph in a posted 15mph turn
getta bigger knee sliders...
And my personal favorite
increase the amount of blinker fluid on the side you want to lean to

move your butt cheek off the seat in the direction you want to lean, stick out your knee and postion yourself before the turn, lean and look ahead, not down to make sure your knee is out...and accelerate through the turn. If you can find a nice clean curve (maybe brush it off with a broom) that you can see through. Just keep practicing and going a little more at a time, just make sure if you wanna do it on the road, clear your path and look where your going. Dont try to extend your knee too far cause this might cause you to become unstable. Another thing...please make sure you have the proper heated tire for this. Make sure you have a good rated tire (pilot power, qualifier, diablo) and dont try to drag a knee with stock tires.

Maybe what im saying is GO TO THE TRACK AND LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL

yes thats true, but then u gotta add in the cost of rentin a suit, gas to get there, new tires, lessons (since im a squid at doin this and all), food (i like to eat a bit) and then the estimated cost of something completely random happening, which since i have some of the worst luck it usually does.

invest in a good suit...doesn't have to be new...can be used...
i have a used one i'm considering parting with...it's been down twice (once by me, other by friend) but since it's a SPIDI...probably still can go down 10 more times and still be good! both times were in the dirt...so maybe that's why the suit didn't take so much of a beating.
