Default crank belt snaps

i have read that people who get a crank pulley have issues with belt slipping or snapping.

what happens when your racing and this happens??

can you blow the motor?

your left rear tire will fall off



just ****** with ya. nothin really as long as you slow down really fast and cut it off.
the motor will still run without the belt on just every power thing will die fast. mostly the thing you would have to watch out for is it bouncing around and hitting something.

That's what would hurt your motor the most no coolant circulation.
