I think this is a great idea.

My Z's my third manual, so I'm not exactly a beginner. But I'd enjoy comparing manual-driving notes with others. For me personally, I'm fine with day-to-day driving, but I'd like to gain more confidence in my quicker-launch techniques. And I've love to discuss that over a cup of coffee with other Z owners sometime!

Hopefully next time the St. Louis group has a meet it'll be on a weekend where I can get away and come meet everyone.

Keb, I'll bring my wife along. The two of you can work on your first-gear starts together. She needs help too.

Awesome. But I don't know if learning a faster take-off is going to really "help" me in any way... haha...

So.. what's the "mini Dragon road"? I can't find it on Google maps...

There isn't actually a road called the "mini dragon". It was just a play on the name of the road that everyone drives in NC at Zdayz (The Dragon).

I will look up the road on google maps in a bit and post the route

Haha... yeah. That's how much of a noob I am.

And, if more than just me is asking for a launch tutorial then I am so RSVPing. Too much fun to pass up.
