I know that some kart racers use split tooth and some use full tooth sprockets. What's the reason (advantage/disadvantage) for doing this? Would it help out a blaster any on the track?
Split tooth vs Full Tooth Sprockets

I pronounced it wrong --> its "Skip tooth"...sorry.
But here's a website that shows what they are

Not recommended for use with a long chain, they are used in the Karting circles where weight is an issue.
If a chain has any amount of side slap it will ride off!
I have read up on them a little and the general consensus is that no appreciable gain in performance is experienced.
