Ralph Potter built a chain drive "VW" powered midget and modeled after one of his legendary Quarter midgets that was enough to make USAC come up with a rule to ban them from racing. Ron Ambrose had a chain drive "TQ" that dominated the UMRA to a point that they saw fit to ban them also.
Seems to me like you you might be experiencing a "sour grape attitude" towards chains because you have not been allowed to implement such a brilliant drive system in any of your race cars.

When we ran at wilmot saturday the count seemed to be fairly good for 5-10 of them to be coming down.
