AP uses strap-drive in some kits, but not in racing. The bobbin/float system we are using is identical to what we sell to pro race teams, and has been proven time and again. It has less moving parts/components, it has a great amount of float, it's easy to service, and it's reliable and not prone to failure when it counts most (at the end of a 24 hour race with the championship on the line). That's why we're using the standard race setup.
