DIY plugs really should just be a temporary fix. As soon as you can, always have a tire shop do a patch/plug from the inside.

I would and have autocrossed on a plugged & patched r-comp tire as well as a plugged & patched street tire. I would be less than enthusiastic about doing a track day on a plugged tire, but my guess is it would be fine as well.
