Gave up on search so flame as necessary..
Heads up to those who have Maggie's and do more than street boosting. I came across this belt gauge from Gates and since it was the magic "FREE" I ordered one. Gates link here The Two Guys Garage video in the link explains all.
It took what seemed like a good amount time to receive. All of my visual pretrack inspections showed belt looked like new and since this one has never thrown I was reluctant to change. To my surprise at 20k maggied miles and almost 50 track days my belt indicated worn. My guess is that with the extra load of the maggie, particularly at track frequency, causes an accelerated wear rate. My Atom with twenty some odd track days in one year of dedicated track use showed signs of wear as well. Looks like I'll be changing more regularly.
For the occasional street romp I'd suspect that it would last much longer.
So blaa blaa blaa Maggie folks check your belt, no reason to let slippage leave boost on the table.
