I got it down 1st track day. I did it on purpose the first time just because I wanted to and knew it was possible... then the rest of the day I wasn't trying, and it was getting down naturally by itself.

Yeah, height is definitely a serious factor. Tall people touch knee down WAY before the traction limits. The shorter you are, the more lean angle required to drag that fucker, and the closer to the tire/machine limits you are before it touches down.

I'm 5'8" with a pretty short inseam (I think it's like 29")
