If the tanks were intended for gasoline and the trunk stays cool, should be fine

Default ummm...track event with 100+ oct?
u should be fine...make sure they don't leak.

imo get one of those huge gas containers with the tube. you find them everywhere at the track.

Default Personally I wouldn't bother if you're not even running the car on the track.
I've transported race gas sealed in the trunk quite a few times and you can still smell it with the seats up. For drive to AL? Forget it

$.02
