Default Before race day question

When I put that new p5 piston & sleeve in my engine I reused the con rod that had 3-4 gallons on it. It looked fine against the crank, but after breakin and 2 race days I checked it again and it has some slop.

The question is, can I race it one more race or should I bench it and replace the rod before I run it again?
