Nope! I flew home friday....broke the L out of storage, drank a bunch of beers friday night.....woke up way too early saturday morning, and drove 17 hours straight to South Carolina.

Our ship is in dry dock for the next two months down here, so I figured I might as well have the L while I'm down here.

The yellow IS a deep cycle. It recharges faster than the red or blue. This is important for drag racing. You don't want the alternater charging the battery during the run. This will rob horsepower.
Don't worry about turning over the Lightning engine. The low compression engine spins easy.

BTW:
TommyLightning had a great price on them.

PS (Randy): Post It
Is that why I see the guys at FFW in Olando charging there batteries?

That's Right

You don't want to make a run with a load on the alternater.
