why wouldn't you want a chainring for a track bike if it fit 3/32" chains?

no ramps = chain is less likely to fall off and chainring will last longer.

Any bike shop who counts QBP or Hawley as one of their vendors.
I'm sure it's also available online from nashbar, Jenson, etc.
BTW, If it's listed as 9/10-Spd, it works for 8-Spd.
