To race or not to race

I've been invited to go with some people to the track tomorrow night, and then again sunday morning(two separate tracks). I'm just a little paranoid because my rear motor mount is torn, and my clutch is slipping pretty bad. I want to go, I just don't know what to expect, and I don't want to do any damage to the rear tranny mount. You think I'll be ok if I just baby it off the line? What do you guys think?

I wouldn't race with a worn clutch and torn mount. You could break the mount and fry your clutch pretty easily. Go and watch and help and have fun, but I wouldn't race it.

I appreciate the honest responses, I think I might run a few anyways, although I don't expect much. Without the ability to launch hard or stick my shifts, I doubt I'll even make 14s

I swear, why do I insist on embarrasing myself in public.

Oh, and thanks for the offer, cjthor. I'll be there tomorrow night, though, not tonight.

If you ever go, dont go parst 6500 rpms, uselsess and you may drop a valve. Your ze willo do well if you go. I went with 2 bad mounts, wrong ecu wrong vaf, bad tires, bad driver 15.5.

Yeah, I didn't race. The Street Warriors tour sucked. It was absolutely packed, there was a mile long line to just get into the parking lot. We had to park like a mile away and walk, wasn't even worth it.

Oh, of course!! I'm in Portland almost every weekend, probably be up that way tomorrow night or Sunday morning even. My g/f goes to Western States Chiropractic so I'm up there constantly. Just let me know what you're thinking and I'll make it happen.
