No problem. 1. Set 2 step to 6000rpm or higher (don't be skurred). 2. Rev it up and hold it there. 3. Begin releasing clutch to the point where the car begins to creep forward. As soon as you find that clutch catch point, move pedal 1mm forward from that point where it isn't engaged and hold it there. 4. When you are ready to launch, release clutch real slow from the clutch catch point until it catches/begins to move - as soon as you feel it catch, release clutch entirely and very quickly. 5. Hang on.

DO IT. Best decision I ever made. I honestly don't know how I put up with that crap 6spd for so long.

Can you verify whether or not PRP does T&T ONLY on thursday now? Their site only lists Thursday nights for T&T. I thought they had it on sundays too.

I'm pretty sure their T&T's are only on Thursdays. It has been that way all summer. I'm not sure if it switches back to some weekends or not in the fall. My thursday nights are booked from now till the end of the season, so unless there are some weekend events I won't be back at PRP this year.

Pretty sure the guy doesn't even know what my car is. They get confused when they see a Jap car w/o a wing.
