Not really, but the OP makes some good points. I easily get my knee down on the track, but have yet to come close to doing so on the street. There are places I'm pretty sure I could, but I like to leave myself that extra bit of cushion since the street can be so unpredictable (debris, animals, dumbasses....).

There are only a couple of lower speed corners on the IOM TT that would allow for knee dragging, and you'll see it once in a while, but most of the track is near WOT and just rolling on/off in strategic locations.

I'm hoping to go watch in the next couple years.
