If I blow out my rear....

OK say I'm raicing and for some odd reason I blow out my rear....what will happen? Will I be able to drive home from the track (an hour...all highway)?

Depends on how bad.

It could be so bad the car won't even move or you could just damage one of the teeth and it could make a click/clunk but still be driveable. Just depends.

Typically you shear the teeth off the ring gear. Depending on the failure you will not be able to drive the car back home.
