The guy at Rod End Supply had a shaft drive 600cc car back in the late 80's. He used an old shaft drive Yamaha 6000cc motor and it looked real neat, great workmanship but it was just a little down in the power department. The problem is the the rear end required a lot of extra power to work and was just not as efficient as the chain drive.

Shaft drives would be legal with the MMSA and down in Florida. The Dwarf cars use an open drive shaft and I know of very few racers that would want that spinning drive shaft between their legs just below their privates.
