Default Will I still be able to race with a cracked fender?

First off I don't know if this is the right section so if its not I apologize. But anyways I was planning to head off to the track tomorrow, but a little while ago my car was backed into in a parking lot, cracking the fender. It was a hit and run, and so insurance didn't do anything so I haven't gotten to doing anything about it yet. Anyways will I be able to race with it cracked like it is or will I have to fix it first? I have no experience with the track so excuse my dumbness. Thanks

That shouldn't be an issue.

As long as it isn't flapping in the breeze....shouldn't be a problem.

I've seen worse being driven at the track. If anything it might hurt you by creating a little drag but thats bout the worst of it. If your really worried, pick up 2" 3M Blue tape and just tape it up.

Ya I would tape it with the good black duct tape or somthing. if wind gets in there it can damage other parts on your car.
