Default Re: Running an alternator

Not saying that I'm any kind of a heavy hitter or anything , earlier this year I doubled up in a local Super pro and local S/ST event with my car that has no alternator but does have two battery's went 5 Rounds in Super pro and won in S/ST. There was only one class between the two classes ( motorcycle ) that was 4 time runs and total of 9 rounds that night. I would put a charger to the car when fueling but had no trouble cooling the car or starting . Towards the end of the evening I was having ( being a old guy) a little energy trouble as the gate time was 5pm and the final in S/ST staged a 2:30 in am..... LOL

The reason I have no alternator was that back when i ran with one third round of a team race the alternator split in half 600 ft out. When it did that it killed my MSD box so I was done that day and had $175 repair on the box. So I just mounted another battery out back and give up on the alternator. It kind of helped my 60 ft. removing weight off the front and putting 45 lbs in the rear..... That's my two cents....
