I didn't realize that you had so much time before the race, and I also didn't bother to read everyone elses response befor posting the same thing that had been said four times.
I remeber reading some import magazine five or six years ago and there was an article about a guy who had written in asking a question similar to yours. He had a stipulation though that no money could be spent on the project. He was driving a new sentra if I remeber correctly. The magazine just stripped to whole car down to nothing and it improved the 1/4 mile time by a little over two seconds.
Obvoisly you don't want to show up to the race looking like an idiot so that really isn't an option for you. Do take out the spare and passenger seat though. Also, practicing your launch and running a 90% empty tank are great ideas.
Now, as for cheap things you can do over the next month to give you and edge.
Fabricate a straight pipe exhaust to eliminate your cat and muffler. Of course you only want to run that on race day. Smaller and lighter wheel will also give you a gearing advantage. You can calculate your wheel size to give you the top of the rev range in 5th gear as you cross the finish line (might actually have to fourth gear).
Also, you don't want to rule out a light shot of nitrous. Even a 20 shot will give you a big advantage.
