How far can i drive on my slipping clutch?

On Thursday I decided to try out my new drag radials with 11 lb wheels... I did some Gtech runs, and needless to say. My stock clutch with 95k got smoked!! So I have ordered the act, but it will be at least a week before i get it in. My clutch is slipping pretty bad. I have to drive like a Grandma. I think I could make it a week driving like this, but I dont want to break anything... Can I do any damage by driving it like this?>

you won't damage anything, just make sure you have the flywheel resurfaced.

I went from slipping in 3rd Gear, to slipping in all gears... to having to start off at 4000 rpms in 1st gear to the car not moving at all.

this i did in 2 months with a total of about 700 miles. If you keep driving on it, get a couple of tow truck numbers handy or AAA handy.
