The advantage?
1. You would be different from the rest of the pack.
2. You wouldn't have to worry about that old chain slinging chain lube everyplace.
3. Down in Florida you wouldn't have to worry about premature chain wear due to sand.
4. changing gears would be super quick, instead of 30 minutes you could do in in 3.
5. You would look just like a real Midget race car.
DISADVANTAGES:::
1. You would add about 40 to 50 pounds to your race car.
2. You would run into problems adapting it to your motor.
3. There would be about a $700.00 premium for parts.
4. You couldn't brag about being chain drive.
5. You take a 20% hit in your rear wheel horsepower because the M/E loss between using a hypoid gear as opposed to chain and sprocket.
