Get it fixed now. a bent rim leads to unbalanced tires which lead to bad wheels bearings which lead to a tire flying off. save your self the 4g's and get it fixed as soon as the funds are availiable

without pictures are more info, there is no way for any of us to tell you if it will be ok. I would hate to tell you it was good to go, and have you get into trouble. So i'm going to just say get it fixed.

Fix it! If you're going to the track to really push your baby hard..don't mess around with this kinda stuff. Your car should be in tip top shape or you could be kissin your *** goodbye. High speed is dangerous anyway you look at it...even more so when your car is already damaged.

Most tracks do a safety check prior to running oyur car on their track. They may catch that and make you fix it before they let you run. That's what they do around here at least. I'd fix it too, just to be safe.
