Damn I wish I could be there to witness this. It's gonna be good. If possible pick the quickest car to go up against first. I found that heat soak would make my times slower as the day wore on. I agree, if you can get lighter wheels you would be better off. If you were closer I'd give you my 17" superleggs for the day, they are 17's with good rubber but weight the same as the stock 16" wheels.
PS if possible leave the car seat in the back. That's what I did, the Neon SRT4 guy was not happy when I beat him. Makes it that much more worth it :)
PS using ICE on the IC may be counter productive, if you get the fins too wet you will prevent quick evaporation which is the thing that really cools it down. Purchase a half dozen cans of canned air, turn the can upside down and spray the heck out of the fins with the liquid (say you just want to get the bugs off) Make sure you get a cheap brand. You want the type that lets the liquid out for the best cooling. Good brands have what they call a "spray anyway" valve that prevents liquid from coming out when it's upside down.
