Everything TRK is spot on (as usual!). 2 years ago I won a regional autocross championship by hundredths of a second. The top two of us (he drives a fully prepped 914) had equal points after 5 events, so the judges added up all of our times and I was a blip ahead. A couple of pounds may have been the difference!
Another great thing about removing weight is that it affects the overall performance: not only does each pound have to be accelerated, it has to be braked and turned. Less mass makes you faster everywhere!
