Default Another relaxing day at the PCA autocross... might have broken somethin'

I must say, the PCA autocross (Porsche Club America) autocross kicks the **** out of the SCCA deal.. I made 12 runs and was out of there by 3pm.. there was Starbucks and donuts for breakfast and a PCA sponsor provided grilled burgers and brats for lunch... what's not to love about that?

Plus the Porsche crowd is super nice and welcoming to my "old" car.

When I left to go home I noticed my volt gauge was under 12v and my O2 gauge was dead.. So, do I try to make the 23 mile drive home or tow it? I'm stubborn (stupid) so I shut down my electronics like the audio and Racepak and hit the toll road, once on the toll road I shut down the cooling fans (one nice thing about having every system on my car on a seperate switch).

I just made it home, but the time I hit my driveway all my warning lights were on that I was under 11v .. when I shut her down I was 10.6 ..

So did I kill another alternator? If so that sucks since I spent $200 having it built "heavy duty".. Good thing I had two done. Not sure why the O2 sensor quit.. need to check the fuses and such.. Oh well, made it home and had a great day.

Obligatory video:
