Leaded Race gas - good/bad?

With forced induction higher octane will help you push your limits further for power etc. I simply saw Racing Gas at this Citgo station that stated it was Leaded 110, and i figured I would do my research to see if would even be worth putting into my car for a strip day.

As I figured the o2 and widebands will get ruined (and I have read our plugs will foul fast as well) so in all the extra 10 octane just isn't worth it.

BTW, I spoke to some of the high end muscle car guys and they live off that stuff for the strip, but then again their engines were/are made for it.
