[Shotimes] OPTIMA BATTERY

[don donelson]

Interesting u mention that .. When i was at the auto cross this past weekend 
both Sat and Sun .. i had to get my optima battery jumped a couple of times 
to do my runs.

Now sat evening at home .. with the car still on the trailer ... i put the 
battery on a slow charge for a few hours and had no issues on sunday

The battery is at least 2 years old
