They can last for months like that... if you're gentle. I wouldn't personally want to do it, but then i'm naturally pretty cautious and reluctant to do anything that could screw me over later, especially if i've got the parts and facilities to sort it out. From what i remember of driving on a knackered beam you wouldn't want to take it round a track anyway, unsteady and constantly changing in the corners, with unpredictable snap oversteer as a bonus.
