Ok listen up, you can do this easily here is what you have to do first.
1.) Learn to drive, you do NOT dump the clutch, you SLIP the clutch during a launch. You must practice this before hand!!! Try reving to 4k, slipping the clutch, keeping the gas constant the whole time and once you stop spinning (you should barely spin) then floor the gas. This is the single most important thing you can do to improve your time.
2.) Free mods - Weight Reduction
Remove your spare tire, trunk carpet liner, interior fire wall carpet behind the seats, and if the track allows it, your passenger seat (4 bolts holding it down, 2 infront, 2 inback, slide the seat to get access.
All of those items take about 5 minutes to remove and 5 minutes to re-install and will save a significant portion of weight. Keep in mind that the approximate rule is every 100 lbs saved improves your time by .1 seconds. All of these items will remove approximately 150 lbs of weight = very good.
3.) When your at the track, run with 1/4 gas, no more. More gas = more weight.
4.) If you have a $20 timing gun you can advance your timing to 15-17 deg and have a little more midrange pep. Search for how to do this but it is really easy, just use the gun to find your timing, loosen the 2x bolts holding the distributor, and rotate it to adjust the timing.
If you do these things and your friend can't drive you should win.
Also, street tires shouldn't need to do a burnout before so don't worry about that.
