Default Bad O2 symptoms

ok went to the track tonight, I notice shaking/stumble at low rpms and idling,
car is fine at WOT, on the way home the car used 3/4 of a tank of gas in 50mins. also noticed alot of poping when letting off the gas

Does this sound like the O2 sensors are bad??

What it sounds like to me, seems as if it is in run rich mode to be safe, no SES light? Not yet i guess huh? Give the BD I enough time and i am sure it will, then you will know which one it is.

Yes, those are symptoms of bad o2s. The car goes in open loop at WOT, so that's why you don't feel it then. OBD1 won't tell you **** until something actually fails completely. You would have seen a code already if you have OBD2. It's a bitch sometimes...

Yup, she'll run rich and generally feel like a slug.
Without the O2s, you're flying blind.
