I am participating in a DE event this weekend and participants were notified that racing fuel would be available. 100 to 110 octane.

What would happen if I put it in a stock 2.0L with D-Jet?

I have a 9.8:1 C/R six.  I've been mixing 91 (Calif 10% ethanol crap) and 100 in various proportions depending on temps etc.  That works well.  The Union 76 100 went from $4.25 to $5.00 in the recent oil price craziness, though.

Try some Toluene. It used to be about $4/gallon at paint stores. Works like a charm - my old GTI track car loved it and it was 11-1/2:1 CR pinged and rattled like hell on 92. A 4 to 1 gas to Toluene worked as well as straight 100 octane. Smells good too.
I forgot to add that Toluene is a normal gasoline componant so it wont do anything funky to hoses or seals. This stuff plus some 0 octane componant was Honda's rocket fuel during the turbo F1 era.
