Charging Circuit Woes

joules"Racing is Life, anything before or after is just waiting" - Steve McQueen

Saturday I was on the track with the local SCCA club

, then turned the engine off, and when I went to start dead battery

. Luckily I was on a slight slope and enough to push start it to limp home.

My 'Gen' light bulb is on with ignition on, but is it common for the 'gen' light not to come on with the motor running if the alternator is shot? I'm using a three wire 100A alternator, which is only about 6 months old.

Thanks for all input
