Probably not, unless you were on the track next to an identical car that wasn't using race gas. You would pull them a few inches down the straight!
The fumes from race gas are one of those smells that instantly takes me to the race track. Its a smell one never forgets!

I notice a difference in my 'turboed' Audi and am going to try mixing 91 and 100 to obtain a 93-94 rating in the Boxster.
