Default Battery Shutoff Tech help!!

Need to know before 9-1-04, going to the track for 3:30 wont be there til about 4:30ish
(gotta clean it up a bit first)

Anyways, I got it all set up except it doesnt shut off my car when you hit the switch.
Got the positive on one side of the switch comming off the battery and the other side of the switch is going to the starter solenoid.
I know I need to run a wire off the Alternator to the switch, but I've got not one clue which wire.
Roundman had said the wire was going to my starter solenoid, but I checked and there's not one wire going to the alternator from it.

There's a wire comming off my starter itself, but that's the only thing going in that direction.

Cutting power from the battery is cutting power from the battery.
The car won't start with it like that, but will still keep running due to the Alternator running...

Harumf I say!
Need to get this figured out before tomorrow afternoon!
