You wouldn't fry anything if your car is correctly set-up. The battery issue is more of a problem. Assuming no bump-ups, 1 battery is easily enough for an entire day's racing, but with bump ups, a second battery is required just for that eventuality. With good LiPos and chargers, charge times are as little as 12 minutes, so if needs be, 2 batteries can be used with bump up finals.
