PLEASE help, did I **** UP???

i wanted to change the engine oil when i got home, i couldn't use my ramps or the jack(pumping) since i just lowered my car

so i used the stock jack on the left, but i used a jack from another car for the right, the other one didn't have a flat surface where it lifts the car
It had like a U shaped clamp

i started lifting the right side first, the clamp wasn't set on the lift area of the car flushed, i started lifting and the gravity dropped the jack rail down into the U clamp, when that happened, there was a loud CLONK, the car didn't drop, but the part where the two rails are welded together got separated

can u tell me if i messed up the integrity of the car, can i still road race it?

I'm going to Streets of Willow(road racing) in two weeks and I CANYON RUN a lot, do i need to
worry about this???

please help, should i weld the two pieces together

No big deal. Your car is fine. The part that got seperated is a body panel; not some integral support member. It's just an oopsie and you should try to make it look nicer if you can.
