I disagree with you (with all due respect) and would contend that driveline
shock can only snap a belt if the belt is misaligned or lacks sufficient
tension (IMHO, the excess slack combines with the normal driveline shock to
snap the belt or break off the teeth).
I have accelerated out of the pits from a standing start and generated tire
smoke without any belt slippage, much less damage.
I just sold two cars that, over a period of years, NEVER had their drive
belts replaced.

Subject: [F500] Narrow CogBelts and Standing Starts
Dave,
Over the past several years the road racers have had a problem with
snapping belts especially as they come back on to the road course from the
grass (went off course) and jumped on the gas.
Either way - still don't like standing starts in SCCA racing.
