If you're talking about a modern street car, then yes, it's a big No-NO. Leaded fuel will destroy your O2 sensor(s).

i always mixed 5 gallons of c16 in with pump for added insurance. I'd keep it in the car and then dump it in before racing drive a little to mix it up

If your 02s are relatively new a few passes on race gas will not hurt them. I do it all the time, however replacing 02 sensors is a lot cheaper than a motor.

150 shot, I always use pump gas however if you want some sort of RG use something like vp blue 110.
