Use the whole track
Be smoother with Hands and Feet.
Buy an accurate tire guage, some sidewalk chalk/shoe polish, buy or borrow a Pyromerter and learn how to use them.
Run in tha afternoon for no points if possible.
Use above to work on skills as well as tire pressures, suspnsion settings, etc.
Use a stop watch and have someone do interval timing between specific cones to determine which line is actually faster for a specific type of turn.
Have one or more experienced drivers drive the car to see what they think of the car setup, and make possible suggestions.
Watch fast drivers, and look at line, braking, and listen for power changes etc.
Walk the course again, and again. At least once alone. What are you lookig for and focusing on during your walk? Don't know, ask one or more experienced driver what they do/look for during a walk.
Have soemone ride with you and be open to critique.
Ride with someone else. Help them.
Go to the library, or book store and get a book on performance driving, and read it.
Watch Speed Channel Road course events, or video tape, and see how they use the track.
There are probably many more, but spending more money on Go Fast Parts is probaly less effective than any of the above.
Shut up and drive!
