If the SS is mechanically sound; by all means, use it. The only upgrade you could do to improve your racing advantage would be to convert it to STI/Ergo shifters from its existing downtube shifters - if only for the time advantage gained by having the shifters at your fingertips when necessary.

I think by the time the OP gets done upgrading the shifters, wheels, derailleurs and possibly cranks he could have bought a nice used bike or maybe something from BD
I agree with Dgodave ride the heck out of the Super Sport for training and in the rain and check with the team for deals and good used
