The amount of room in those dropouts is negligible in my experience. Chain stretching alone will negate it. Plus it wouldn't've made for such an entertaining thread!

Replace the chain before it wear out to that point then (they don't stretch in the literal sense).
Doesn't a chain naturally stretch during its normal lifespan (before it's actually worn out)? That's what I was aiming at.
I'm not saying it couldn't be done, just wondering if it's worth the trouble. Obviously bolting on track fork ends is a whole nother type of trouble.
