The OP is certainly going to need good luck if he turns off the DRC. Turning it off may well allow the track to be placed, but since the DRC is there to dramatically reduce the chances of designing a scrap board, in the long run it is quicker and easier to create a schematic and leave the DRC on, even for a "simple" board (and just think how many ways there are of misconnecting a rectangular box with eight legs). Not doing so is like being given a ruler to help you draw a straight line, but not using it in order to save the time involved in placing it on the the paper.
