My neutral safety switch was leaking oil so I started to take the bolts out that hold it on. First one came off no problem but the second one stripped the head. I used an easy out to try to get it out but no luck and I only broke it off. I have a race tomorrow and I took it to a shop in my area and he was 50/50 on if he could get it fixed today or not. Hoping for the best and planning for the worst, if he can't get that hole taken care of, would it be a bad idea to race with only one bolt holding that switch in?

You would probably be ok with only one bolt. Dab some RTV silicone on the other side to help hold it down. Make sure you get it fixed though and keep an eye on it if you HAVE to race with it in that condition.
