Well, as a street bike, I think it would be just fine. I doubt I push the frame that hard even during WOT acceleration or my best street level corner carving.
The track may be a whole 'nother animal (the demands on the frame and suspension from a physics standpoint are on a different planet), but that's for ztrack et al to find out. I eagerly await the results.
