Default Racing with clutch that's slippin

I installed a cam a few months ago, and my stock clutch can't handle the new power. It doesn't slip a ton, I know that it will last a while longer. I'm just wondering if I have to worry a lot. I'm not planning on abusing it really hard. I just want to have some fun, nothing serious. Going to the track on saturday. I know there are a lot of variables in predicting if the clutch will go out. I'm sure it's kind of hit and miss. But I know the clutch wasn't slipping before the cam install. And I haven't driven it a lot since. Should I be okay?

ya, my clutch started to slip real bad when i tried launching on drag radials at the track, just get a new clutch and get a buddy to help you install it, its not hard to do. if you arent very sure how to do it, just go to installuniversity.com
