What? F3R is CHAIN Driven?
Broken chains on motorcycles are pretty damn rare (assuming that they're properly riveted together), and they're transmitting plenty of torque, they're putting up with a lot of reflected torque from the environment (bumpy roads, etc.), and they're not doing it in a comfortable environment.
Even a "wimpy" bicycle chain has a working strength in excess of 500 lbs. Put that on a 6" drive sprocket and it's capable of taking 125 ft-lbs of torque - not too shabby.
The single biggest problem with chain drive is that the efficiency and life drops off dramatically with contaimination, but I think that's going to be less of a problem under the hood of a track-only car than it is on the swingarm of a dirt bike.

Any pictures of a set up like this and whom can I talk to get a set up. I think this would be a great idea. The only hard part would be to build a nice cover to house it all so it is not exposed. I can't see why it would make that much noise because if you think about how many millions of motors use this concept for the over head cam set-ups.
