something else you can try, rent any manual transmission car, if they have any available. and practice with that.
I've practiced on my buddy's M6 LS.

Buy the car that you would most like to get beat in. The other guy will always be faster.

i have an ls3, and i have no issues with traffic. doesn't bother me to shift constantly, sometimes.

i would practice stopping and starting on a hill, if you haven't.

Also, for the drag strip, just take off normal for your first few times. No need to worry about launching correctly your first time out. Just to get the butterflies/jitters out.

I don't mind shifting myself. Plus it's a workout of some kind, right? But I just worry if I'll get tired of it after a while (new-ness wears off).

Yea I haven't been on a hill in a M6.

Yea that's what I did in my current A6. So just relearning again. Always fun

I have myself on a list for the host hotel if they get cancelations - but I'll still call if anyone cancels that anyone knows of and see if I can get that room ASAP. LOL
