I did a handful of races in 1993 on a Raleigh with a broken lug at the seat post clamp. It was going to be replaced under warranty but not for 3-4 weeks. The seatpost wouldn't clamp and was kind of afraid to tighten it up. I ended up setting the saddle height then drilling two holes, the first at the point of the crack to propagate further growth (I'm an engineer), and the second one through the seat lug and post where I installed a bolt with some washers to hold everything together. It worked.
