Aces,

As I mentioned earlier, a Kenyon Midget does run a 1200 Yamaha through a torque tube to a Q/C; they do run with us on occasion at Montpelier when their USSA schedule allows but typically aren't as competitive as the chain-drive MC-powered cars.
Strictly speaking I don't think they are D2/Speed2 legal as the technique of connecting to the torque tube via a u-joint off of the countershaft puts the crankshaft too far to the left (D2 rules mandate a 1" offset for shaft-driven cars).
