She's already dragging her knees in the turns! http://www.local21news.com/news/feature ... 4513.shtml

A little too much excitement there about dragging a knee.

Yeah, she's very good for a 6 year-old, but even I can drag a knee. It's dragging an knee because you have to: because you're going so fast around a corner that you won't have enough ground clearance otherwise, that I can't do, and she's not doing anything remotely like that.

The story says "just like the pros do." Uhm, not really. But, she certainly has a big headstart toward actually dragging a knee "just like the pros do" someday.

Oh, and what were you doing at age 6, Major? Pre law or pro bono work...? :P

Acting - of course.

My point, clearly expressed, was not that she isn't very good for a 6 year-old, but that both you, and even more-so the reporter, made way too much of the "dragging a knee" business.

In addition, although I made no mention of this, if any one of us had a father who was a professional motorcycle racer, who built us a roadrace track that surrounded the house, and did a professional mod and prep job on our ride, and took us to race every Sunday, I suspect we would probably have been better than the average 6 year-old too.

At least I certainly hope we would. ;)
