    For as hot as it was, the track was hooking really good yesterday. Milan just needs to get their program together, it took forever to get any test passes. I got there when the gates opened at 2 and left at 8:30 and only got 3 passes in.

    I had mixed results friday. My first pass was OK but then on my other three passes it spun.

    Kind of funny. I used to remove/replace pieces, use aluminum, use plastic, use titanium fasteners, etc. Sometimes it is amazing how much weight you can save on fasteners alone. If you buy a decent AC TIG welder and a plastic welder you won't believe what you can do to save weight. Especially if you have an Alro retail outlet nearby that is stocked well with usable plastic drops.

    I just built new alternator brackets out of 1/4" A36 (because it's easy) to put a Leece-Neville 160 series alternator (22lbs but puts out 200amps at idle) on a Cadillac 500. I think I found your 10lbs in the alternator! Slightly different application though, but it is a 6-wheeled racecar with a shitter and a shower.

    Its always been this way. Milan doesn't like test n tuners. If you want to make more test passes, go to a different track.
