I don't have any experience in this, so take it for what it is worth (or not).

Get the doctor's position in writing:
1) Not cleared for your particular job, even light duty
2) Cleared for driving, including drag racing.

I would be concerned from a legal stand point about collecting disability and doing anything that "appears" like you are not injured.

From another racer's standpoint, as long as it isn't the leg you need for operating the pedals (brake, gas, clutch?); I don't have any worry about you. Only you can answer if you feel capable of getting in and out of the car in an emergency.
