The O2 sensors can take it in moderation. I would not run back-to-back tankfulls or anything like that.
However, if you still have your factory cat in place, that will get destroyed rather quickly on leaded race gas like C16. Make sure you have a test pipe in place if you are going to run leaded race gas like C16.

Leaded gasoline will definitely destroy O2 sensors. I've had 3 run-ins with this. One guy ran leaded race gas 100% of the time and the O2 died @ 17K miles. Guy #2 ran leaded gas about 60% of the time and his lasted a little over 26k miles. Guy #3 runs leaded about 1/2 the time and his is still going at 42K miles.

I ran 110 LEADED in my car for 30,000+ miles strait!! Yes, over thirtythousand miles. I have the front O2/the O2 which goes with my AEM UEGO A/F gauge, and run NO cat. I have NO PROBLEM with either O2 sensor, even after running all that fuel thru the car, for that many miles. (The front O2 is still the stock one with 75K miles on the car) I haven't seen any ill effects, EXCEPT a lighter wallett.
