Nuke may have it most accurately, you are perhaps not fully disengaging the clutch before you are starting your shift. At the dragstrip, i move my seat up one notch just to make my foot action that slighly more faster.

You might move your clutch disengagement up a bit off the floor, by an adjustment at the bellhousing. Also, if it is the second to third shift, some people are trying to force the lever forward, rather than letting the spring detents pull it into third. You might try just moving the gear shift lever with the flat of your hand, not with your fingers, it may shift faster, and not bind up in the transtion across the H in your shift.
