Default bad 02 sensors=car dying?

has anyone heard of 02 sensors causing a car to die after doing a burnout? Here is my theory, Ive got o2 sensors and I run 112 leaded fuel. The car dies after I do a burnout, and generally wont start unless it sits for awhile, and I have it on a charger. The battery is a dry cell and it had the same problem before i switched batteries. I've taken out the strater and had it tested, checked the alternator and battery. so what I was thinking is that the 02 sensors are bad or possibly clogged? causing the computer to dump in too much fuel, floooding the engine....is thius crazy or seem like a good possibility???

If a lot of leaded fuel has been run with them then yeah that's a good possibility. They will not last a long time running leaded.
