Well the REAL question is, did it pass or fail?

That is funny.... I have seen others doing the same testing before. I did a similar test with my timing light... at the launch it dropped down to the ground but maintained its hook up on the plug... needless to say..... it failed the test procedure... I purchased a single wire unit since and have not tested this one in the same test method........ YET

I use a 20 inch fan to blow on my oil pan and converter to cool things down. After running over two of them they seemed to have learned to move out of my way.

I have done similar tests on battery chargers I've had over the years. "Unfortunately", I have found that the weak links are the charger's connection clips. They were not strong enough to remain clamped onto the charging lugs on the car for very long.
Several comments were made on the clamps ability to not let go amongst the onlookers, I guess they didnt understand that this was a scientific testing procedure

I run an alternator and don't charge between rounds. Or even on a 3 day weekend of racing. Not running the cooling fan an excessive amount is the key.
