my inner cv joint knocks sometimes when i take off and stop, its not too bad. Will i break it if i run at the track, i usually launch at about 4.5k because i dont want to break stuff.

You are asking for it to break...just replace it.

I guess the only advice that I can give besides not dragging on it would be to make sure that the torn boot has plenty of grease in it. I know that it will be thrown out evently but keep a good eye on it and get it fixed asap.
