Hi! for those who don't want to wade into the EWP
"fiasco" & are worried about a double belt system self-
destructing, why not use a single tooth belt system (like timing
belt) I used that on my race car for 6 years & never lost
a belt with RPM hitting 9000 regularly. It has a positive drive
with little tension, only needs one gear with cheek washers to
keep the belt on track. If no one comes up with a good reason
against it, I'll start looking for gears.Lets have some feed back
from the "Gurrus"

factors. Our estimates can ignore as many as we want to (or
are unaware of). I can't help but think that a little morel
hard data gathered from a purely EWP system will put a lot of the
controversy to rest.
A flawless line of reasoning,
based on a false premise leads us right through the
lookin' glass .

Jim, The False Premise comment seems to be spot on. Davies
Craig mentions that the Ferrari 365 ALMS American Le Mans Series
winner were using 2 EWP's in series per the Davies Craig
site suggested method. I have been as skeptical as any about the
EWP but is seems to be being used to great success. I think I will
be planning for the use of 2, main and overtemp. I will really
want a good alternator and backup system!
