They will slow you down due to more rotating weight. as for how much they will affect you? too hard to predict.
Plus the Lack of drag strip traction from the 18's stiff/short sidewall will hurt.

You won't be hooking up very well at the track, they are heavy, and they cost a lot to keep tires on... It's your choice.
